Assuming I don't totally drop the ball this semester, I should finish with 3.7 over my last two years, and 3.6 overall.

3.7 is good. You must still ace your LSAT to get into a good school. I'm also Canadian, but I did undergrad in the U.S., and I'm currently attending law school there as well. However, I intend to work here for a while before I head up north. The only thing I would suggest you do is look into the bar you want to take (Ontario bar, etc?) because some require you to take more classes in a Canadian law school before sitting for the bar. Basically, do your research and make an informed decision before you start. Good luck.
