This thread is almost 5 years old. The original poster would likely have made a decision and probably even graduated by now.

Nataliamenezes,
Canadian graduate schools generally do not require GRE results from applicants who have received degrees from Canadian universities. However if the applicants were educated elsewhere (ie Brazil), I believe they generally do require the GRE. Your best bet would be to look up the admission requirements at the specific schools you're interested in.
