To be totally honest, I don't know too well how Canadian employers perceive American MBAs vs. Canadian MBAs. But, my guess is that they think very highly of the top ten American schools, maybe even more so than the top Canadian schools. Just anecdotally, I get the impression that the "big name" U.S. schools are also considered bigger in Canada than their Canadian counterparts. (If someone disagrees with me here, please jump in!)
One note: If you want to get hired by a Canadian company right out of b-school, you'll probably have to do more of your own job search. I don't think many Canadian firms recruit at U.S. schools, simply because they probably have a hardt ime getting Americans to move up north. But, that doesn't mean that they don't want MBAs from those schools. If you contact them on your own, I bet they'll be interested.
