How well-known are Canadian universities?

<p>What are some of the more well-known Canadian universities in the States?</p>

<p>The names I know:</p>

<p>McGill
University of Toronto</p>

<p>Only names that come to mind when I think canadian school; this might not reflect anything about the knowledge of prospective employers, but they're the ones I know.</p>

<p>McGill first and foremost. Then University of Toronto. UBC should be famous enough (at least in the Seattle area...), then Queen's and Waterloo I guess. There are a few other good schools, but I don't think any of them are known. Heck, Universite Laval is one of the big, old ones (in Canada) yet no one outside of French speaking countries (and provinces) has heard of it.</p>

<p>yeah pretty much McGill ahead of all others, then UofT/UBC</p>

<p>unless youre a math/engineering major (Waterloo destroys competition), you should stick to the afforementioned 3 if prestige in the US is important</p>
