Hi, I was wondering which universities' physics departments in Canada offers the best chances of getting a summer internship with for 2011 (usually funded by NSERC).

I have already applied to a bunch, but my marks are not that good. So the physics departments with the least applicant per internship is something I have to look into (I am in my 3rd year already and wishes to go to grad school).

thanks

University of Manitoba takes lots of students, but generally you need at least decent marks, if not NSERC caliber. I don't know what you mean by not good.
