I completed almost 1 and half year here.
Still I am confused regarding this. Infact I never tried seriously but...
Only universities I heard are - University of Toronto, York University, McGill University, University of British Columbia.
What each universities are doing and which program of each are well recgonized all over North America I don't know.
Anyone knowledgeable here?
Thanks.

I think for Engineering programs (especially computer science), University of Waterloo takes top honors.
York and U of T are pretty popular for their management schools.
I'm not sure about other faculties like law etc...

Are you there?
BlueLobster,
How do you rate UofWaterLoo as compare to those big ones in USA?

I think its top- notch. Howver, when you compare with the U.S. ivy leagues , you have to remember the funding plays a big difference. I would think that there's not much comparision in the amount of grants and alumni funding a school like Harvard gets to a school like Waterloo. Also Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton etc. have been around for over a century, with some very illustrious alumni. So besides being good schools, there's also a big prestige factor associated with them.
Waterloo does not have the "name factor" associated with it like that of a U.S. ivy league school (for that matter, no school in Canada does) however from what I've heard the engineering programs are comparable to top schools in U.S. Definately among the top 5 in Canada.

Garvo,
For business schools you could defintely check out: http://www.businessweek.com" rel="nofollow">LINK and proceed thru with the school comparator feature to get an idea on how Canadian schools fare out with top US Schools.
Obviously, I would go with a top US bsuiness school or London School of Economics, over Canadian schools . Simply becoz its more universally accepted, more well-known globally with more potential for salaries and ROI.
On a different note, I have a question for the forum participants. Being Canadian and everything, I ended up doing my Bachelor's and Master's in the US. Also, worked in the US for the last 4 years, so how would I fare out for employment in Canada? I have some networking thru friends in Canada, trying to get a feel for my potential prospects if any.
Thanks.
