An additional point to note Pawan is that O&G as a sector does not recruit international candidates much. More so in your case where you'd be looking for a senior level position and not an entry level. So make sure you do your research well on that front before you go on a wild goose chase.

Cheers,

Pawan,
Your GMAT score is good enough for all the top Canadian B-schools except perhaps Toronto Rotman and Ivey where you will be competing with multiple Indian applicants with higher scores. Your age will also be a bit of an issue as you will be in the oldest 5% of any cohort. Your international and oil/gas experience will differentiate you from other Indian applicants, though there are many oil & gas folks applying this year. Hopefully, your 9 years of experience includes management and increasing responsibility. Other top schools such as Queen's, HEC Montreal, and UBC Sauder should be in play for you. As you probably know, both Alberta and Haskayne have energy MBAs.
Good luck,
