There’s no middle school in Canada
The public schooling system in the US is made in such a way that children start first with kindergarten, then move onto elementary school through fifth grade, then go all the way up to middle school through eighth grade, and then straight to high school through 12th grade.
Well, In Canada, things aren’t quite the same. In fact, there isn’t such thing as middle school. Children go to elementary school up to seventh grade, then enter high school through 12th grade.
In Quebec, students finish their high school studies after 11th grade and then go to a vocational school where they learn what they choose for two years. And after, they MIGHT continue with college.

My niece has lived and worked in Canada for many years; she has dual citizenship. In her experience, the “free” health care system leaves much to be desired.
The system as a whole is underfunded, so that there aren’t enough practitioners. Therefore, there can be long waits for essential, even urgent, services. She’s very active and athletic, so she occasionally suffers an injury (such as a broken nose) that would be treated immediately or within days in the U.S.; she’s had to wait weeks for proper treatment. However, if she were willing to pay with her own money, she could be treated much sooner. Some Canadians who can afford it, go to the U.S. for treatment of major health conditions. The idea of free health care is good; there must be proper implementation to go with it.
