I am in my senior years now and I am Canadian, going into a Canadian University. I plan to become a physicist, a researching physicist at a university. I want to research at the point where I am like Yoichiro Nambu.
This is my question: Does a Canadian potential physicist have any chance at being invited by the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton or any well-known facilities? If I do not get a Ph.D from a well-known university, is there any chance of being recognized? Do Canadian universities such as University of British Columbia or Toronto have that type of facility for me to research?
My other question: What does it take to get recognized and be inviited by well-known universities to study? I know Yoichiro Nambu did not start out like that, but I really want to become one of those people. In fact, I don't even care if it's an Ivy League or not, it can be Berkeley or Oxbridge or even Chicago (I actually want to go there more than universities like Harvard).
Can you successful physicist shed some light on me?
I am also aiming for a Ph.D in Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry (does Ph.D in Chemistry even exist??)
