My thoughts on UBC and McGill probably won't help you--McGill has a huge renaissance faculty but it seems like a very prestigious school. I don't know how many spots they hold for international candidates, but I might apply and see what happens. Montreal looks like an amazing city.
UBC has one specific professor that my advisor recommended for me, so the school peaked my interest.
That's about all I've thought about there. I thought about Duke, but I read a few articles by the professor I wanted to study with, and the writing style really irritated me so I don't want to work with them
