EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Canada ranked based on their research performance in Computer Science. A graph of 37.9M citations received by 1.31M academic papers made by 86 universities in Canada was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
