Canadian universities are pretty consistent in their education. You aren't going to get a better education at UBC than at SFU or UofT or w/e.
Its not like the US where you have something like Harvard's mathematics department versus that of a regular state school.
There are only a few select programs in this country which are competative to a degree where you have to prepare for them.
Waterloo's architecture program requires a portfolio to get in and I hear its hard. Queen, York, and Western have very competative business undergrads which require a really good entrance submission. Mac's health science undergrad is really hard to get in and has something like 60% of its graduates going to medical school which is ridiculous for an undergrad program.
Not really any prestige in any of them though, save those business schools. Even then I quesiton the utility of doing an undergrad in business.
Yeah yeah yeah, I'm asian and I pretty heavily researched this stuff when I applied to universities back in 07. Since then I realized that it doesn't matter, nobody actually gives a damn where you did your undergrad in the working world.
