You can follow their updates @MSE_McMaster
Things to note:
1) This list is nearly exhaustive. Feel free to suggest more programs/universities.
2) You’ll realize that some universities have a full-fledged Materials science and engineering department while others are incorporated within or created alongside a mechanical engineering dept.
3) From the first option in (2), have a look at other engineering departments
in the faculty such as mechanical engineering (some professors in the department work on materials research), Aerospace engineering (Aerospace materials), Biomedical Engineering (Biomaterials), Engineering physics, and Mining engineering (if you have previous knowledge/experience
Peep into the departments of chemistry and physics research in the areas of materials chemistry, materials physics, and functional materials.
4) Try to be flexible when searching for professors based on your research area. This implies having more than one area of research
interest as long as you can demonstrate your enthusiasm and past experience (if available). Also look to emerging areas in the field such as computational materials science (ML, AI, IoT, Industry 4.0 in materials manufacturing), additive manufacturing.
5) As a Mechanical Engineering major, you can consider these schools and research areas too. Think of ways you can ink your CAD, Numerical Modelling(FEA), and computer programming skills to what is done in the field of materials. Look beyond your major and consider related areas that are well funded. These are additional strategies to get funding in graduate school in Canada.
