McGill or Waterloo for Engineering?

I've been accepted recently to both McGill and Waterloo for Computer Engineering as an international student.

I'm only a senior in high school so I'm a bit unsure about what career path I'd like to take but I've been interested in science/engineering for as long as I can remember. I developed an interest in consulting as of recently because my father started working at McKinsey as a senior consultant and I interned at his office unofficially during the summer.

I live in the UK and have been accepted to Imperial College London for EEE but that is a conditional offer and in case I do not meet my A Level condition, I need a good backup school, preferably in Canada.

Based on what I've read on WSO, McGill is better than Waterloo in terms of recruiting but doesn't that depend on my major?

Which school should I choose?
