You have 2.5 years remaining? Then either wait for 2 years and post your question then (it may be a very diff world after Corona) or do it in Canada if the economy takes a dive to weather it in BSchool.

What do you think BB? Please share your thoughts.

1) Do I study in Canada? I could even get H1B later from a U.S Employer.

2) Do I suck it up here for 2 years with less salary and go to the States having 8 years of work experience and get a Stellar MBA?

3) Do I leave everything and go to the US and study now? Risk getting H1B and lose the option of Permanent Residence in Canada?

I am a Canadian permanent resident from India. I have 5 years of experience, in multiple companies though ( 5 companies ) to be precise.

I am under a fix now and confused about whether to do my MBA in Canada or the U.S. I have a GMAT score of 710.

I want to finish my residency obligation in Canada ( 2 and a half years remaining ). But, I want to work in the U.S as the pay and opportunity are better over there. As I need to finish my residency obligation, I can start studying only by 2022 and by that time, I will be having 8 years of Work experience.

With the rise of STEM MBA's, I get 3 years of work visa OPT and I can apply for a H1B thrice. Considering I will be a Canadian by then, I can even opt for the TN1 Visa.

However, my job prospects in Canada are not great considering Coronavirus and if I do my MBA quickly here, I can start earning and probably join a company that sponsors H1B in the US.

I'm very confused and I need help. Can someone suggest your thoughts and provide guidance or even mention where I can find guidance?

PkUnbreakable,
In conclusion ,u r going to stay in Canada for next 2.5 yrs.
Option 1)2.5 years can be spent in exploring ND gaining job experience. And parallel u can kick start some basic business foundation courses online.
Later u can apply US University in 2022. 8 years experience is an upside not otherwise.
Option 2) right away apply ND Join top college In Canada, and later for exchange program opt some US University.Even if exchange is not available, u can apply tn1 as u said.

And as they say:
Decision isn't right or wrong,
We make a decision ND then work hard to make it rite!!

Thanks for answering the question. I guess I'm too nervous.

1) When you say Busines Foundation courses online, will they help? Are you referring to Certificate courses from universities or courses from quora?

2) I never thought about exchange, let me check the top colleges out. Thank you :)

All of you are saviors for helping.

I will stay put in Canada until you get your situation secured. If you think there’s a chance you will lose a job then go to school now. You can also apply to the US schools. Situation may change and things may change.
