Hi Arijit ,
I'm glad my two cents of feedback helped. No this certainly doesn't necessarily means that Ontario state province won't process your PR. The inconvenience you will find , is the competition of applications when you are in Ontario. It takes longer than any other states in Canada. Reasons behind, most of the immigrants fly off and their first choice automatically becomes Ontario because of better down- town living experience and bit of multi-lingual City feeling. On the other hand , Calgary & Edmonton , you will find the state very Calm and bit of Country side feeling as it is covered with a huge national park and lakes. University of Calgary , has been long in the business and carries lot of heritage particulary concerned with Science and Biotechnic. McMaster , advertises alot about their business programmes, however you won't find any sort of extra ordinary advertisement from Haskayne. Though it depends upon their own tradition.
Both the Universities comes in B+ Average Rating , when it comes to Business Programmes. This certainly means , candidates have to participate alot more in various networking events. On the other hand , you will find ROI's are pretty handsome in the both of them. There will be a Median size of the class , who will be getting placed ahead of you or you may be in that median batch as well. As this happens in all the MBA schools.
Carrer transition , is definitely not an easy cake if you are not getting a proper platform from IT to Core Finance. North American market , has a strong emphasize on CFA. But the good news is , most of the IT background students are also getting employed as a financial analyst , which involves dealing with various statistical tool. For an Example : In my network , couple of my colleagues got employed in Pubic sector (with canadian state govt as analysts) because of their finance major. You can definitely take a course on added financial programmes from the University , to make your resume more strong. There's no end of learning. Average PR conversion time in Ontario can range to approx 4-5 years , whereas in Calgary you may get it in 3-4 years. In every quarter , there is a skill shortage announcement that comes out from the government, you will be happy to note finance is one of the aspects where North America lacks manpower. Also , your career will depend how you network in these two years.
If your career goals are bit inclined towards Financial Markets , I will strongly recommend Mcmaster. Fee hike , is something that can't be avoided if you want to have a nice piece of fresh strawberry from the field. If you want an overall University experience with heritage and a proud alumni segment , then Haskayne is a good option.
