AsifR
I'm planning to pursue an MBA from top business schools in North America. The primary shortlisted universities are:
Canada: UofT, UBC, York, UAlberta, UCalgary, UOttawa, Concordia, Mcgill, and Mcmaster. I plan to pursue a major in Management Analytics.
USA: top 30

My Profile:

Age:31
Education: MBA from Bangladesh
Citizen: Bangladeshi (Canadian PR holder)
Work Exp. 6 years in Brand Management
Company: World's largest building materials company.
GMAT: Not given
Extra-Curricular: None

Will my profile be considered as a Bangladeshi citizen? And If I show that I have an MBA degree, will it hurt my chances? I'm going to submit an application at McMaster for the Fall 2020 session. What are my chances?

Hey AsifR!

In general, a prior MBA is not viewed as a positive, but it depends on the prestige and duration of the program. If your application is solid and you can explain that your prior MBA, while helpful, was not sufficient to progress your career in international markets, it won't be that big of a deal. It is common for international candidates to complete some type of MBA program in their home country prior to matriculating to North America.

Are you comfortable sharing your stats and which US-based programs you are considering? As a PR holder, your options in Canada are viable.

Regards,
Scott
