I'm deeply aware of the height requirements for male models by the modelling industry in general. But is there any modelling agency (especially in Vancouver or anywhere else within Canada) that are open to models who are just a few inches off the requirement?

Reality:
Theres always exceptions made for people with a unique look or other attributes.
Unfortunately for you that case is unlikely.

You're better off finding success independently. smile
Best of luck.

Danny, Have you considered acting?  Maybe commercials?  Your too short for any real modeling.  You might consider body modeling for art classes.  I have a friend that is 5'7" and well build that makes some really good money modeling for art students.  R-

The best way to get a job is to be reliable, and to be able to sell the client's product. If you can prove to the client that you can promote their product, then you will have no problem getting jobs.
