Applicants Looking for Profs in Canada for graduate school
Let's give you an insider gist under this thread
1. If you're into AI & Machine Learning (ML), prioritize schools in Quebec. Montreal, esp, is gradually becoming a global hub for AI/ML & with many renowned Profs.
2. If you're into ecology & life sciences, again, prioritize QC & Ontario. We have many global environmental HQ in Montreal with tons of Profs doing interesting research in this field. Check McGill, Concordia, UofT, UGuelph, etc

(Prospective) Grad Students:- I'll be compiling the list of International conferences happening in Summer to Dec 2021. Some of them are online, so please take advantage of it.
I'll be updating the list as more becomes available, so feel free to always check back.
If you're in Nigeria and would like to attend & present a paper, I'll be glad to pay conference registration fees for 5 to ~10 people. Submit an abstract by May 10 and get back to me if ACCEPTED.
This is one of the largest, global, student conference. I attended in 2019 (New York, USA) and definitely recommend it for anyone. (If you look closely, you'd see my picture on their homepage 😅)
