Did you know about this very Canadian university resource?
Wednesday WisdomAre you familiar with the Maclean's University Rankings? They differ from other rankings because they focus only on Canadian universities, and they share a ton of really helpful information for students and their supporters as you make decisions about uni! They also have a comprehensive program ranking list, so you can find out which unis offer the best business, nursing, engineering, computer science or education programs! Additionally, they very clearly share and explain how they determine their rankings - which is super important to understand if you're using this information to influence your decisions.
