A few Canadian universities have especially strong programs in Electrical Engineering.

1. The University of Toronto (UofT) is consistently ranked high in Engineering. UofT offers a comprehensive Electrical and Computer Engineering program with a broad array of sub-disciplines such as power systems, electronics, communications, control systems, and more. It's known for its collaborations with industry and balance of theoretical and applied study, and the city of Toronto itself is a major tech hub.

2. UBC (University of British Columbia) also offers an excellent Electrical Engineering program. UBC is distinguished by its extensive research opportunities and its integration of sustainability into many of its engineering projects.

3. University of Waterloo is renowned for its co-operative education programs. This means students alternate between academic terms and work terms, getting practical, paid experience in their field of study. Waterloo's Electrical and Computer Engineering department is one of the largest in Canada and provides a number of research opportunities.

4. McGill University in Montreal has a fantastic program as well. Their Faculty of Engineering offers specialization in various fields of electrical engineering, research opportunities, as well as a Forbes-ranked entrepreneurship program called the McGill Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurship.

Research each of these schools and consider factors such as location, student support, internship opportunities, study abroad programs, and others that are important to you. Remember to also check the application requirements for international students. Good luck with your college search!
