I am worried that my choice of a destination may prove questionable to the people I leave behind at home, even though the program I will attend is still a respectable one for my field

Anyone who doesn't understand that anyone with the ability to attend a top 20 university in the US for their Ph.D. is better off doing that than studying at a Canadian university isn't worth your time. U of Minnesota isn't Princeton or Stanford but you will undeniably get better training there, and have a better shot at the academic market, than if you attend any Canadian university.

The impression I have: go to any of the following for physics and you may pass it off as normal: Harvard, MIT, Caltech, Cornell, UChicago, Princeton, Berkeley, UCSB, UIUC (for CM), Yale (for HEP-EX), UCLA, Columbia, Michigan, UPenn - other schools have regional reputations (Minnesota, NWU are best known in the Prairies, Washington in AB and BC)
