How do they compare to those in the U.S.?
Pure math in particular.

Look at the Putnam scores
2000 Duke MIT Harvard Caltech Toronto
2001 Harvard MIT Duke UC Berkeley Stanford
2002 Harvard Princeton Duke UC Berkeley Stanford
2003 MIT Harvard Duke Caltech Harvey Mudd
2004 MIT Princeton Duke Waterloo Caltech
2005 Harvard Princeton Duke MIT Waterloo
2006 Princeton Harvard MIT Toronto Chicago
2007 Harvard Princeton MIT Stanford Duke
2008 Harvard Princeton MIT Stanford Caltech
2009 MIT Harvard Caltech Stanford Princeton
2010 Caltech MIT Harvard UC Berkeley Waterloo
Waterloo has 3, UT has 2 but the last time they did well was 2006. UW had a strong performance in 2010 and I think they'll do better because they recruited some talented people. But the US is unfair anyway since they draft from IMO. MIT views UW as it's equal in Canada, plenty of MIT researchers are at UW. If you want to go to MIT then definitely go to UW.
hamsterpower7 said:I know that all major math competition in high school is funded by waterloo and they have very good scholarship for math students there
and of course they have always been known for computer math and engineering school
toronto on the other hand, they are generally good on most of the majors
so it won't hurt to do any of them but if you are going back to U,S for jobs i recommend toronto
if you are thinking of getting a job in finance, engineering, computing or any other industries waterloo would be my answer
Admission requirements for Math Ph.D programs in Canada vary by university, but generally include a master's degree in a related field, strong letters of recommendation, a high GPA, and GRE scores. Some universities may also require a statement of purpose and/or a writing sample.
The average length of a Math Ph.D program in Canada is 4-5 years. However, the exact timeline can vary depending on the student's research topic, progress, and any teaching or other responsibilities they may have.
The cost of a Math Ph.D program in Canada depends on the university and whether the student is a domestic or international student. On average, domestic students can expect to pay around $5,000-$10,000 per year, while international students can expect to pay around $20,000-$30,000 per year. However, many universities offer funding opportunities such as teaching or research assistantships that can cover the cost of tuition.
There are many research opportunities available for Math Ph.D students in Canada, as the country has a strong and diverse mathematical community. Students can collaborate with faculty on research projects, attend conferences and seminars, and even have the opportunity to publish their own research.
Math Ph.D graduates in Canada have a variety of job prospects available to them. Many go on to become professors at universities, while others work in research and development for government agencies, private companies, or non-profit organizations.
