There are some great business schools in Canada that will give you a solid education for much lower cost than the U.S. schools. However, practically speaking, I would only recommend a Canadian MBA if:

(1) You plan on working in Canada afterwards, and;
(2) The MBA is from University of Toronto or Queen's University or Ivey (Western Ontario)

Agreed, I go to Rotman Commerce. Never step out of the ivey/queens/rotman triangle and you'll be fine. If you want any info on Rotman I'd be able to help you out - not the stuff on flyers/website but more insider info.

I am targetting a couple of MBA colleges at Canada for full time MBA to be starting on 2012 -- My initial choices are Rotman and Queens. I am currently in IT consulting and wish to work in Toronto after my MBA in management consulting/product-management. Can anyone please guide me which one will be better to pursue my career-choice?

I think Queens is one-year course. Is it good for career-changers ? Can anyone please put any updates on the same ?

I think the best MBA program in Canada is probably York-Schulich. It was ranked #9 in the latest Economist global rankings Oct11'.

In Canada, education is very regionalised. That is, many companies recruit primarily from schools in the same city or region. You probably need to take this into consideration.

"Best" for MBAs are very relative. You should create your own internal ranking system. Sure, use external rankings as a starting point or a point of reference, but do not rely on them without really knowing their methodology.

My ranking system had to do with ROI, location, class size and diversity, and how strong the career center is in my target post-MBA industry. Yours may be different.

Good luck.
