I am from Asia, and if I was given the chance to go to grad school, should it be the US, Canada, or Europe?

I think your best shot is probably going to the USA to study, but I don't know how much better of an option it is. I have been snooping around 15-20 grad schools math department, getting as much info as I can and it seems a lot of the top schools get half their applications from overseas.
 
If you have chance, go to Cambridge.
 
The UK.
 
in USA there are a lot number of universities... depending on your academic qualification you can choose a number of universities in USA ... always remember USA is vast ...
