How do you get accepted to an university in Canada?
Q. To the largest university of Canada? That would be University of Toronto BUT after that, I am going to dental school in University of Toronto.

A. im assuming you're in Canada and you're in grade 12 [or 13] you should start downloading applications, and getting your special PIN Number you'll need to put on your application you do your application, i think for UofT you need references, so get a teacer who knows you really well or a guidance councellor depending on what program yo want to do, marks and averages fluxuate so steps talk to a guidance councelor - optional download an application get PIN number and other documents fill out application wait wait wait wait open letter, that either says your accepted or that you're denied good luck1 ella
