<p>Shad,</p>
<p>For graduate studies, I agree with you that Toronto, UBC, and McGill are considered the best in Canada. (Personally I think Alberta may be ahead of McGill, but that is another story).</p>
<p>For foreign students, it would be McGill, Toronto, UBC in that order.</p>
<p>For Canadian undergrads, things become more interesting. In the ethnic enclaves, your opinion holds up well. For strong white Anglo students here in Ontario, it is Queen’s and then Western. Even a former president of the U of Toronto admitted they don’t go to Toronto.</p>
<p>I don’t know how it is in the rest of the country, but I do know a large number of students from private boarding schools across the country attend Queen’s. I don’t have information on it, but I suspect something similar may be happening at Western, though to a less degree.</p>
