OCAD or The RTA School of media at Ryerson/TMU is known to be quite elite

Go on LinkedIn find agencies with work you like, and see where their art directors studied. I wouldn’t really recommend the university programs. As someone who reviews student work quite often, the best work I’ve seen always comes from college programs like Humber or GBC. If you can afford it I’d recommend Miami Ad School as the connections alone set you up for immediate success.
