Insight on these school's programs?

[languagewaffle]

I'm unsure if this is the correct area of the forum for this, so if not, feel free to relocate it to the correct place. With that said, I'm looking at a multitude of schools for MA-level study in linguistics, most importantly historical and comparative linguistics, but general info about the linguistic graduate programs of these universities would be great.

 

For certain applying to...

University of Victoria (Canada)
Simon Fraser University (Canada)
University College Dublin (Ireland)

Leiden University (Netherlands)

Stockholm University (Sweden)

Lund University (Sweden)

University of Ottawa (Canada)

University of Calgary (Canada)

University of Manitoba (Canada)

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Netherlands)

 

Uncertain about applying to, but perhaps interested...

University of Auckland (New Zealand)

University of Nova Gorica (Slovenia)

 

I've sent out introductory emails to graduate department advisors and some professors I am interested in studying under, and am expecting to ask more questions when I have more. However, professors and department advisors can't always relay and relate the info for someone actually entering into the department at my level, so that is something I am asking here if it is possible. Also sadly, some of the departments have never gotten back to me and it has been almost or over a month x.x I am thinking perhaps their school mail systems mark certain emails as spam. Any advice for how to contact them if my suspicions of my emails being hidden away from them, are true?
