The Canadian Ivy League, according to David M. Thomas of "Canada and the United States: Differences That Count" (Broadview Press, 2000), is comprised of Dalhousie University (1818), McGill University (1821), Queen's University (1841), the University of Toronto (1827), and the University of Western Ontario (1878), some of English Canada's oldest and "named" schools.

Basically the oldest, most selective, richest Canadian universities - McGill University, University of Toronto and Queen's University.
There are others that get honourable mention, but these three are the top dogs, all within a few hours of each other, and all highly internationally ranked. All three have ties to the American Ivy League too, and were even founded before Canada had its own constitution.

Three dads talking about their kids' school acceptances:
1 "Hot damn, my son's going to Toronto - they publish more than Harvard!"
2 "Well hey, my boy's off to McGill - "The Harvard of the North" where they INVENTED football and hockey!"
3 "Oh yeah, my daughter's off at Queens - working with kids who transferred from Cornell!"
4 "Mmm... I wish my little girl could've gone to a Canadian Ivy League... she's going to Brock."
*Laughter*

1. McGill
2. UofT
3. McMaster
4. Waterloo
5. UBC
These are the best universities in Canada. Not many come close to the top 5. Western and Queens students like to think they part of the top 5, but really those bawtymons ain’t.
