I don't have enough posts to share a link but if you a do a google search of "Canadian MBA rankings, Macleans" there's a brief run down of them all from 2009, GMAT averages, etc. Maclean's is Canada's version of Time Magazine.

I've done a lot of research on Canadian MBAs for a while now and this is how I would generally classify the rankings 'tiers' (based on several discussions with industry people, conversations at networking events, own research, etc).

Tier 1:
Ivey
Rotman

Tier 2:
Schulich
Queen's

Tier 3:
Sauder
McGill

Tier 4:
The rest

Canada's a bit funny because certain schools are really against ratings and won't participate, making it difficult to get a feel.

I just graduated from Schulich and I'd say the following is how tiers work for Canada.

Tier 1:
Ivey
Rotman
Schulich
Queen's

Tier 2:
Sauder
Desautels
U of A
DeGroote

Tier 3:
Molson
Telfer
Dalhousie
Haskayne

Laurier, UVic, and Sprott aren't as big for MBA programs but have pretty well reputed BBA rates.

thanks krussel. The most informative answer on this thread yet!

which schools choose to stay out of the ratings game?
