Hi gr8k87,

Great that you're considering b-school. It depends on what you want to get out of b-school in Canada whether it may make sense to attend just any program. I'm sure you can find a couple MBA programs who will admit anyone if you are able to pay for tuition. However, post-MBA recruiting will be very tough from these schools if you wish to remain in Canada.

With your GMAT it may be hard to attend a top Canadian MBA program (e.g. Ivey). Your work ex is also quite low with 2 years. Therefore, if you want to attend a top MBA in Canada I'd recommend retaking the GMAT until you score your target school's average and working 1-2 more years. If you just want to attend an MBA for educational purposes and return to India after, then any MBA in Canada will do.

There are 6 Canadian MBA programs in the FT top 100, have a look (sort by country to find them more easily):

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
