There is some interest in the major Canadian schools by American recruiters but it is important not to overstate the level. Indeed, given the admission price of the major Canadian MBA programs, one could probably obtain significantly greater exposure to the US selective recruiters by attending a Trans Elite school in the US. Of course, the Canadian programs have a number of other redeeming factors. Further, many MNCs, especially the Canadian subsidiaries of the MNCs, recruit at the major schools in Canada.
About 4% of graduates from the Class of 2004 Toronto/Rotman are employed in the US vs. some 81% in GTA, 11% Canada ex GTA, and 3% in Asia. About 5% of Summer internships for 2005 were in the US.
Western Ontario/Ivey is a bit more diversified (as one might expect considering it is not located within GTA). About 8% of its Class of 2004 was in the US, compared to 65% in GTA, 15% Canada ex GTA, and 6% in mainland China.
