The only (very significant) difference between the US and Canada is at the top.

I am indeed including the for profits and religious.
There are only 72 universities in Canada. There are more than 2000 in the US. All I'm saying is there are more universities that suck in the US. In Canada, there's generally just a couple of well-known universities per province, and the rest is smaller universities with similar reputation. In the US, you have more categories, and therefore a bigger difference in reputation.
I think American employers tend to be more selective as far as universities go, as a consequence.

University of Saskatchewan and University of Guelph are also good choices.

But if ambience is important to you, McGill for the win. There is no comparison between Montreal and Saskatoon.

I know for a fact that the MBiotech program at University of Toronto is the best in the country. It is offered at the Mississauga campus and has a co-op program with leading biotech companies in Canada. It is not a research based Masters, more course based with industry experience. So it is good for people looking to work in the industry ... not good for people looking to go onto PhDs.

MBiotech: Where Science Meets Business | Master of Biotechnology

The program in very very difficult to get into. Let me know if you need more information. I know all about this program.

Don't think it's a good idea to study this subject in Canada. Career prospects are pretty bleak.
