Honestly, a degree means absolutely nothing in the animation world. All that matters is your reel, and to a lesser extent, the projects you've worked on and how easy you are to work with.

That said, it's a very competitive industry and you need to know your stuff. For some people, college is a great way to develop those skillsets. Off the top of my head, VFS is probably the top school in canada ATM, but you could also look into online programs like animation mentor, animschool, or if you're a self-learner, try taking one-off classes through FXPhD or Digital Tutors and try to get an internship somewhere.
