EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Canada ranked based on their research performance in Theoretical Physics. A graph of 1.03M citations received by 36.7K academic papers made by 46 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.
