Hi ,
I'm a 34 year old Indian male based out of New Delhi. I'm interested in pursuing an MBA in Canada because I feel it will jumpstart my career as I land there on a PR. Here's my profile:

I understand that my age is limiting my options. However, I feel the need to pursue MBA so that I'm able to progress in my career, finacial scholarships are a consideration, eMBA due to high fees is something I am not considering. Can you guys throw some light on my situation and what seems best? And whether I should apply to schools such as Ivey, McGill, UBC, Queen's, Schulich, Ted Rogers, HEC Montreal?
