Waterloo has the best reputation of engineering for sure. UofT is very good too. I would suggest those 2 schools over all else. Waterloo also has a great Co-op program as well. If I were to go into Comp. SCi of engineering (I am not, but if I were to) I would ONLY consider UofT or Waterloo. Those are the best, in terms of reputation…and I guess you could say prestige. They are also recognized internationally.

And like darksoulz said, if the opportunity isn’t available to you, then doing the best with what you have is what HYPSM expect, which is exactly what your son is doing. You can get your son to try to get involved in some science fair/competition that will allow him to compete with other Canadians. If he does well, then the admission committees at HYPSM will know how he ranks among other Canadians and get a better idea of how great of a student he is.
