Immigrating to Canada: SFU Beedie vs. UBC Sauder

Background: I live in Russia, and would like to immigrate to a better place with economic stability. I have chosen Canada as a main destination since MBA gives 3 years of visa. I have 3 years of job experience in IT consulting and would like to move to a middle\low management position in international consulting or IT companies.
I have offers from UBC Sauder and SFU Beedie. However, Beedie offered me a scholarship, which substantially reduced the Beedie fees to 50% of full cost of Sauder. Although, I believe that Sauder is more prestigious, the price is just too high (and I myself mostly finance MBA).
Does it matter for Canadian employees which MBA you took? What is job situation in Canada? In Vancouver? After studying in Vancouver, is it possible to switch destinations within Canada? What about oil price change - how has it affected the job market?
Awaiting for any feedback!
