Please advise me - would it be better to accept a top BB (GS/MS) offer from Toronto/Calgary office? Or mid-tier BB (think UBS/DB/Barclays/Citi) in NYC? Both are IBD...
Which is better for PE exits? Would the GS/MS name outshine the regional difference?

Although there is a bit of a regional disadvantage, analysts at GS/MS Toronto (not 100% sure about Calgary) still get recruited by their fair share of PE firms (TPG, Carlyle, Onex etc). However, I'd say there are still more opportunities coming from a NY office of a lower BB, especially if it's a decent group (Citi M&A, Barclays nat res etc).
Where do you want to live? GS/MS doesn't exactly run shit in either Calgary or Toronto. There is lots of top groups at Canadian banks who compete with them. That said great offices to work for. But if your goal is NYC long-term, better to go there now.
I don't care about where I live - My end goal are top PE firms (whether its london, nyc, chicago, etc, it doesnt matter)
do you go to ivey or queen's commerce?
Obviously.
why does that matter?
