I should also add that I am Home Educated, and that I do not have a GED or Diploma, just my high school transcripts.
See,

"If you have been home-schooled, you will need to provide proof from your home province’s educational authority that your marks have been assessed and meet their standards."

Homeschooling
Homeschooling also known as home-based learning, home learning and home education, is education given to a student, typically conducted by parents, guardians or tutors at home, outside the formal venue of public school education.
Although not new in Canadian society, homeschooling quickly became a secondary mode of educating children with the adoption of the Federal Education Act and the availability of free public accessible schooling. Homeschooling is governed under provincial education laws and, therefore, provincially monitored.
Due to the vagueness of provincial legislation and widely separated views on homeschooling, the CF does not acknowledge home-based schooling without a legally authenticated document by a provincial authority. Applicants who have undergone homeschooling at the secondary school level are to have their marks assessed and transcribed by the provincial education authority.
Warrant Officer Robert said:
To join the Reserve Force at the age of 16, will require both parental consent and enrolment as a full-time high school student.
For instances which you have described above (ie; Home Schooling), if you are following an established curriculum and are currently registered with a local school or board of education, a letter or acknowledgement of registration from either organization would be acceptable. If you are not currently registered for Home Schooling with a local school or board of education, then a letter from your parents stating that you are completing a full course load in addition to an actual academic transcript from a High School could also be used.
