“I want to be a vet.”
Then you have a problem with this website, and with every other one: searching “veterinary” in a list of Ontario undergraduate programs returns nothing. Same for dentistry, medicine, law, optometry and physiotherapy.
That’s not a gap in the data. None of them are high-school entry points in Ontario. Every one needs a university degree, or at least two years of one, before you can apply. What you pick in Grade 12 is the undergraduate program underneath.
Two you can lock in from high school
Both of these admit in third year, not first — but you apply for a conditional place now, as a Grade 12 student, and hold it while you do your first two years.

The 141 that need a degree first
Ontario’s universities publish these separately from their undergraduate programs, which is why they never show up in a normal program search. Nothing here is something you apply to in Grade 12 — they’re what your undergraduate degree can lead to.
