Hi, I am currently going into my fourth year at St.Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia Canada. I'm in the BBA program majoring in Finance. For the past 4 years, my university has been ranked the #1 undergraduate school in Canada. I was wondering how top US programs view Canadian universities and how this would effect my admission. Thanks.
Top schools put minimal emphasis on where the undergrad took place, and look more at what you accomplished during and after your degree.
It could theoretically have an indirect impact in your career afterwards, hypothetically; if you started up a company, and found some decent investors who was (as an example) a McGill grad, and is interested in financing projects, but opts to fund a project from another McGill grad instead of you, and your project never gets off the ground and your company is never sustainable, that might make you less attractive than if your project gets off the ground, you hire a team of 30 to run the project, have a lucrative 5 years and make a killing, then sell the company to a conglamerate and spend 3 years joining the 7 continent marathon club and starting a non-profit to build schools for orphans in developing countries.

I hope that by "undergraduate university," you mean out of universities that only offer undergrad programs, and not that it has the best undergrad programs out of all schools. I'm at UAlberta, and I don't think it matters, as long as it's a decent school.
