Well it depends what kind of actress really!. Where in Canada do you live!? If it's near Toronto then that's an advantage, as I've heard Toronto called the Hollywood of Canada!. There are lots of plays going on here!. If you're interested in getting into theatre, then New York would be a smart final destination for you, as that's where Broadway is, and just about hundreds of plays a year!.

If you're more into film, you'd want to eventually end up in Los Angeles, as that's where 85% of the films in America are made!.

Just keep in mind that you need to have talent, experience, and money!. Without those things you won't get far!. Though you can get all three in New York, or LA but I would suggesting having a lot before you leave for those places!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Canada is big into modeling!.
