List of Canadian Universities With the Most Business Leaders

A recent study conducted by Resume.io analyzed 3.5 million LinkedIn profiles to determine which Canadian universities produce the most business leaders.

The study found that the University of Toronto (18,362 graduates) has the best track record of producing boardroom leaders, followed by McGill (13,520) and the University of British Columbia (13,381).

 

The University of Toronto produces significantly more business leaders than any other Canadian university, partly due to its innovative environment and location in a major international business city.

It boasts five Canadian prime ministers among its alumni, and notable alumni such as Catherine Swift, former Chief Economist, CEO, and President of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, received her BA and MA in Economics at the university.

Resume.io used LinkedIn to compile lists of universities in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada with more than 25k alumni.

They then searched for alumni with C-suite titles, such as CEO, CFO, COO, CTO, CIO, and CSO, and ranked universities by the number of business leaders and the number of leaders per 1,000 alumni. The data was collected in December 2022.
