Ryerson is not in the same league as the other three in Ontario you have mentioned. Ryerson is an OK school but is definitely not a top school.

1. University of Toronto
2. University of British Columbia.
3. McGill University.
3. University of western Ontario
4. University of Alberta.

Good Luck.

In Canada- government control is really high one the education quality of every school and university. It means wherever you do it will be recognized and accredited with every employer. Other thing, doing an MBA from top schools is an excellent opportunity to enter Canadian Job Market (Immigration purposes ease up with job in hand).
Next thing- Canada is a very big country in terms of every province have their own standards and criterias for various things. So what you should right now is research a lot and do not just count entering Canada in some rural isolated place where mostly people get depressed and go back. My concern is not to de motivate you but to help you to search fro your big picture. Hope it helps.

a. General rule of thumb is that public universities are always a good option. so start there and make a list of public universities in canada.

b. go to the university websites and search the program you are looking for, the entire course outline including fee, semester layout, admission requirements etc will be there.

c. nobody can give you a definite black and white answer to this. Placements depend on a lot of things (your own skills and abilities to a large extent). However, if co-op or a work project is a mandatory part of the program, i would consider that to be a good thing. Look for MBA programs that have a mandatory work placement/ project/ co-op part.

d. see b. Program admission requirements will be different for each university. again, general rule of thumb is the harder it is to get into a program, more in demand it is and will probably have an edge over others.

e. again, see b

f. this is similar to my answer in c. No guarantees if you will find a job right away after graduation. Job hunting is tough and finding the right job takes time. However, you might get lucky and find one right away. everybody goes through it differently. so what may have worked for others may not necessarily work for you or vice-versa.

I think universities which ask for gmat scores are better. BTW I heard mba program in university of western Ontario and Toronto is very good. McGill is basically famous for law/economics etc..try these...and check co-op availability

 

[wJaz]

Yeah all these universities are actually Top Ranked in World also.
