In most places I know of here in Canada, you start as the HL. The thinking is to keep you away from the benches, as most new officials don't have any officiating knowledge. For some of those that do have officiating experience, do not know football well enough yet to handle the coaches properly. Our U job is different than the US umpire - I think the U here is responsible for more. That leaves the HL - which works out quite well. Managing the sticks isn't very difficult.
