McGill and Queens are also excellent.

U. Toronto (St George), McGill, U. Waterloo, and U. British Columbia all have very strong engineering programs. Large US tech firms recruit at all 4 and have done for decades. Lots of their graduates work in Silly Valley.

One caution. Canadian universities are best for self-starters who will self-advocate. As with many UK colleges, there is much less hand-holding in Canada than is typical for US colleges.

If they are not American, this needs to end. CS programs are now glutted in the US, and if a Silly Valley tech firm is claiming they can’t find a recent grad American for an entry-level position, they are lying.

If you are an American and want to work in engineering in Canada, good luck with that. Canada is far less welcoming to foreign workers than the US.

PP might be surprised how many Americans already study in Canada -- and this has been true for several decades.

This has been true as far back as the late 1980s according to a (US) colleague who grew up in NJ and graduated from McGill. Chose McGill over Rutgers/others because it was both affordable and high quality.

My concern with university study in Canada is the lack of diversity.

These days Canadian colleges have a fair number of E Asians, mostly Cantonese people who migrated from HK to Canada in the last 30 years.

You obviously haven't spent any time in Toronto or Vancouver.
