Fond of Extra U's has a question about Canadian programs. She also says that the MFA Handbook's list of Canadian Programs is incomplete. I'm not saying she's wrong, but I wish she'd help us all out by proving it with a list. Thanks in advance to her and to anyone who can address her questions.
what do you know about canadian mfa programs? there are some programs listed in the handbook appendix, but from my initial research, i believe the list to be incomplete.
i've also heard that UBC is "the iowa of canadian mfa programs". what other programs are highly regarded? what sort of funding do they tend to offer?
my sense so far has been that the world of mfa programs is less developed in canada than the u.s. and, to be blunt, if you care more about overall quality of experience than residency vs. low-residency, would it be better to do a low-residency program?
finally, do you (or does anyone else) know anything about mfa programs around toronto?

University of Toronto St. George offers an MA in English in the field of Creative Writing. Started I think, three years ago.
And Guelph offers an MFA in Creative Writing in a few different genres.
Just a note--the Guelph program takes place on the Guelph-Humber campus which is located in Toronto.
There are many very well regarded programs close to Toronto.
Guelph (southern ontario) I've heard is excellent and also Waterloo.
University of Toronto offeres an Masters of Visual Studies, which includes studio. It is not very old.
For the last two years the Ontario College of Art & Design has had an MFA program. OCAD is by far the best Art university in ontario, and one of the best in Canada (largest and oldest) but their Masters is still very young.
York also has a masters program and Western.
American school may be good, but are they 75% better? I don't know how anyone can justify spending $40,000 a year on tuition to learn about art.
I am an undergraduate student in the states hoping to apply to MFA programs in Canada next year. How competitive are the Canadian programs compared to the ones here? I have a 3.0 GPA and have not been published yet, but hopefully will have an article out by this time next year. So far Guelph is looking good, as I would like to remain as far east as possible. Any tips for enhancing my chance of admission would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
