Answer
If you fit the criteria for fashion modeling, you may want to think about looking for agencies in New York City, (use the agency list on: http://models.com/rankings/) or check out agencies in Los Angeles if you think you'll be interested in starting acting soon as well.

If you feel more comfortable starting closer to home, you may find the listings at:
http://www.modelresource.ca/Agencies/canada.shtml
helpful.

You can check to see if the agency has a website - if they do there is usually details about the submission process for new faces and agency criteria.  Otherwise you can telephone and ask.

Good luck to you,
