University of Toronto (rep)

Not Queens - not all that good at that level, and my friends
  who went there quickly got sick of small-town Kingston.

McGill 
  CS: Computational Geometry or Combinatorics, quite good.
      Facilities quite limited (unless they've improved
      since I was there).
  EE: the Robotics and Vision group seems to be the only
      EE group with half decent computer facilities.
      The fault tolerance/design group has some good people.
      Very good if you are into control.
For any Montreal University (Concordia, Universite de Montreal
/Ecole Polytechnique, McGill), there is always the option of
work at INRS (Institute National de Recherche Scientifique).
There are several INRS - several of my friends work/studied
at INRS-Telecommunication; several of the best/most motivated
professors at McGill spent the other half of their lives 
in research at INRS.

UBC/Simon Fraser
      Seem to be aggressively seeking people, some sort of
      Research Institute. I'd like to know more.

I'd appreciate any more info people can add...
