I am not sure about the Canadian schools' requirements on work experience. For the US schools on your list, you would have a chance at all of them, but the likelihood of acceptance would improve with another year of work experience. IN terms of additional schools, consider CMU Tepper and Duke. If you apply next year also consider Tuck, Darden, Haas, and Michigan.

Best,
