Well I have not got an admit from Canadian University yet but I did the process for US universities and received few admits from there. I did research on Canadian universities and just wanted to share my thoughts.
1. Please do check the university or college ranking you are applying to or hoping to apply. Webometrics could be useful for this, you would be able to find the rank over there.
2. Maybe you can go with this approach, Select two universities which are excellent , two which are good and two which are average.
3. While selecting the university please go to the official website of the college, browse to the desired program page and read the information thoroughly. 
4. The information which is very important is the course duration because that is going to be a big factor for PGWP - Post graduate work permit... In case your program length is less than two years then you would not be directly eligible for 3 years of PGWP , instead according to IRCC website you would be eligible for PGWP as per the length of your program.
5. Another important information to look for is the course details, what type of subjects you would be picking up. It would be helpful if one is mentally prepared for the subjects that they would be taking up. With this you can also check the eligibility if you are clearing the cut off which is set for GRE, TOEFL/IELTS, academic percentages etc.
6. Tuition fees and the return on investment does play a big factor for many students.

Hope these points help you in anyway.
