I see this is "in Canada". Is there a way to see all schools together?

Title should probably be edited to say "in Canada." For those interested in the US rankings: https://www.linkedin.com/edu/rankings/us/undergraduate-softw...

Rankings are based on landing "desirable" jobs. "Desirable" is so subjective as to make these rankings meaningless.

They might consider a job of Google or Microsoft to be desirable, but many developers like startups and would disagree (and vice-versa).

If you want a good software job, zealously write software for free and for fun, put it on Github, and look around. It's not hard to find the first rung of the ladder, and from there it's easy to move into roles that are more and more desirable for you.
