Re: Canada...
So it is....
So does that mean after graduating from a Canadian university?
Yes, Canada would probably be much easier to get into from (a canadian) university than the US, simply as you will have a ready made canadian contact network to find a job (or canadian spouse) through. But of course there are never any guarantees that governments and immigration laws will remain the same by the time you graduate...
Even with a UK degree, I would say canada is a lot easier to get into permanently than the US.

Re: Canada...
As I said earlier, my bosses daughter started at RMC Kingston age 16, having graduated highschool already. As in the UK, if you have the qualifications, Universities will sometimes accept underage students.

Re: Canada...
Canada might be easier than the US. In the US it is all the same criteria for attending a college/university for a foreign student. You will also only be working on campus and then will have OPT eligibility (work 6 months after graduation in the field of study). After that you have to leave the US unless you have found an employer to sponsor you for a formal work visa (H-1B).

Re: Canada...
Personally, i would suggest you get your head down and bag a couple of decent A Levels and obtain a place at Uni in the UK. By this stage you'll be 18 and eligible for the Bunac Student open work visa. This visa, i believe, allows you to repeat the visa process over and over while you're student, giving you the opportunity to travel and work in Canada before you begin your course, work in Canada during summer holidays, and possibly for a gap year in between.
Worth looking at, and to me it looks the easiest way for you to get your education more economically whilst being able to experience Canada. The good thing about the repeat process is that you can experience many areas in Canada and select an informed target more confidently if you decide to make a permanent move.

All my opinion of course.
Good luck to you though

Also many uni's in the UK offer a years study abroad as part of a course, maybe see what course offer this and see how that fits in with the demand for skills in Canada...even if you decide Canada isn't right for you'll have a decent education under your belt.
Good Luck whatever you decide, I wish I'd had that vision 10 years ago when I was 16!
