"This is an opportunity for our young players to show their talent and become the Canadian jersey.

"There is also an opportunity for some returning players to badume a greater leadership role and play an important role in this U-20 cycle."

Choiniere, 19, made her first call with the senior national team in October, joining head coach John Herdman for the Concacaf League of Nations qualifiers. He has also made four appearances for the Impact this season as a substitute.

Canada will begin the 35 nations tournament against Dominica on November 2, the first of five games in nine days. The winners of each of the six groups after the round robin will qualify for the qualifying phase and will compete for four spots at next year's U-20 World Cup in Poland.
