I've been looking through various MBA employment reports, and rankings, and it appears as though Canadian MBA programs (even the top-tier schools) churn out graduates with salaries much lower than those of their US counterparts. I'm not even talking about Top 10 US programs - more like those in the 20 and below range.
For instance (source: Financial Times rankings 2012),
Avg post-MBA salary:
University of Western Ontario (Ivey) - $100k
University of Toronto (Rotman) - $94k
York University (Schulich) - $88k
University of British Columbia (Sauder) - $80k
compared to:
University of Virginia - $135k
Carnegie Mellon - $132k
University of Michigan - $130k
Emory - $125k
Georgetown - $123k
UT-Austin - $121k
USC - $121k
these are mostly regional schools too, and we're talking $40-50k difference in annual salaries... the US top 10 are in the $170-190k range but we won't get into that.
Obviously this is just a sample based on MBA employment reports but I had no idea there was such a discrepancy between Canada and the US. Does anyone know why this is? I always thought Toronto had fairly high average salaries but I guess that's not the case.

"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."
