Canada has models?

---

of course we do:




Daria Werbowy (born Nov 19, 1983 in Krakow, Poland) is a Ukrainian-Canadian Supermodel due to her Ukrainian heritage and Canadian up-bringing. Daria moved to Mississauga, Ontario when she was 3.

At age 14, Daria was a gigantic 5'11", slim with narrow hips and sporting braces. She had never seriously considered modeling, but found herself launched into the business after meeting a schoolmate's mother who headed Toronto's Susan J. Model & Talent Management. After a year working with Susan J. however, Daria thought she could be doing more with another agency.

After switching over to Elite Models, Daria began landing several prominent bookings in Canada, but still wasn't meeting with much international success.

When Elite Canada's head scout, Elmer Olsen, started his own agency however, Daria followed and her career really began to flourish. Within a few years, and under the guidance of International Management Group (IMG) internationally, she had built one of the most enviable resumes in the modeling world.



Lisa Cant (born 1985 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) is a Canadian supermodel. Lisa was discovered at age 14 at an Ikea store in Calgary.



Jessica Stam (b. April 23, 1986 in Kincardine, Ontario, Canada), simply called "Stam," is a Canadian supermodel.

Michèle Miller, an agent at the International Model Management agency in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, found Jessica in a local Tim Hortons coffee shop, on the way back from Paramount Canada's Wonderland, a theme park just outside Toronto.
