Canada University Rankings

What to consider when choosing a University in Canada

Canada University rankings and league tables are highly competitive. There are over 100 Universities to choose from in Canada, and it is significant that students have complete information on which Universities to apply to and which department to study in. Important factors to consider when choosing a Canadian university include:

  • University ranking: There are multiple ranking agencies and sites that rank Canadian Universities such as THE World University Rankings, US News Education, QS Top Universities, Webometrics and more
  • Subject ranking: This is the key (our recommendation). Difference between a rank 3 or a rank 4 University in Canada may not be much. It is however the department for your subject that determines how good a University be for you thanks to factors like Professors teaching, research undertaken, access to facilities, etc.
  • Location: Location is a very important factor in Canada. Cities like Toronto or Vancouver could be big factor in selecting Universities since the industry connections that one can make helps in the future career. Besides, in Canada, weather can play a very important role. Canada in general is cold, but the upper half of the map could be really (really) cold
  • Cost of living: Living cost in Canada in popular cities like Toronto and Vancouver could be higher than other cities
  • Student satisfaction: Students should connect with current and past students to learn about the overall satisfaction during their study and stay in Canada while at a particular University. Special point should be made here that all students have different kinds of goals when selecting a particular University. Thus, asking more than one student would help
  • Research ranking: Students who are keen on doing research should read about the Professors’s work and the research undertaken by the University in Canada they are applying to. Some Universities may only be best known for their taught Masters
  • Percentage of international students: Most Universities will have this statistic on their website

 

ILW team has been exceptional in helping me secure the only MBA that I wanted to study. I enrolled with them for applying to 8 Universities but we only applied to 4. Rotman MBA was my first choice. The help during essay content discussions, interview preparation was phenomenal. Thanks ILW!
