College students are definitely able to be drafted. High school doesn't even necessarily disqualify you anymore unless you're under the age of 20 and passing (so basically, unless you're an idiot, you won't get drafted during high school). I think if you have medical problems, you still might be used for the war but not the actual combat (note the "I think." I could be wrong). Canada is not going to be easy to go to due to the Smarter Border Declaration which was signed 2 years ago so that terrorists and draft dodgers can't flee or something similar to that.

I've seen lots of these conscription news things lately, but I'm not worried at all. A bill has to be passed to reinstate the draft (I think?) and if you do some research, you'll see two drafting bills that have yet to be passed. I'd say conscription will probably not be reinstated, but I guess it's not up to me to say what will or will not be reinstated.
