If you want to do GR, it's a strong point in Canadian physics. Check out the Pacific Institute of Theoretical Physics website. They have a lot of GR people there.
I'm taking a course on GR from Kristin Schleich right now, and have Jeremy Heyl as an astro prof. Halpern taught me intro quantum, and I might do a research project with Heyl and/or Unruh.
I've heard of Peet from Toronto and talked to Burgess of McGill as well (they're also on that page).
Check it out; there are links to their homepages and areas of interest. If they coincide with your areas of interest, go to their school and try to get on one of their research projects early. I'm in my 4th year now (gonna do 1 term 5th year too) and am just starting to get into research project territory... it's my major downfall. Trust me, this is the biggest piece of advice you can get. Find a prof or two early and get on some projects. Grad school applications depend 10% on marks and 90% on references.
