Default Re: MBA placements in Canada

Canada has a stable economy and a well-established business environment. Top employers ranging across sectors are present in Canada.

Placement record for MBA in Canada

The region has a good quality of life, an excellent healthcare system, and a good social environment.

Most top Canadian programs are known and have recognition around the world.

For example, Richard Ivey school of business was recently ranked #1 on Businessweek’s ranking of best international MBA programs.

Placements – as reported by schools themselves – seem to be good, with Ivey reporting 92% placed (2014) three months after graduation, Rotman reporting 85% placed (2013), and Schulich reporting 88% employed (2013).

Placements and networking at Canadian MBA programs

While Canadian MBA programs offer excellent opportunities, one should also keep in mind the following points, drilled from the wisdom of current and past students in Canadian schools:

Strategy consulting is a hot favorite with many applicants looking at an MBA.

While top recruiters like Bain, McKinsey, BCG, and AT Kearney do recruit from top Canadian MBA programs, the number of opportunities is small.

Many more people end up being employed in operations and IT consulting positions with employers like Deloitte, KPMG, and PwC instead.

Networking and relevant skills are important for jobs in Canada.

While career switching is possible and does happen, trying to make too many post-MBA changes may not be very easy, especially for international students

While the Canadian economy is stable, it is not as big as that of the USA.

As a result, students may not have as many options with employers across sectors.

To expect to have multiple offers from employers may therefore be an unrealistic expectation.
