Canadian high schools are actually pretty similar to American high schools. The one catch is that if you are working in the French area you have GOT TO KNOW FRENCH!!! Otherwise, if you are in the English speaking area, it's not too different from an American high school.
Pretty much, first you need to know what an applicant needs to do for college, know the details about both what Canadian colleges need and what the American high schools need from a high school applicant to apply. One main thing is that you must be friendly and need to talk to individuals about their future goals and plans and make the best logistically good decision for them.
25 percent of a guidance counselor’s day is also spent administering and evaluating tests. Guidance counselors use the results to provide context for existing records of academic performance, teacher evaluations, and a better overall understanding of students’ needs. Some guidance counselors call the continuing education they receive from the students with whom they work the most interesting feature of the profession. So don't think that interacting with students is the only thing you will need to do, you have to intereact with teachers and build friendly relationships with them as well.
Good luck!
