MBA - Aspirants - Post PR

[Ashra]

Hello,

I am starting this thread for all those who are interested in MBA once they receive their PR.
Most of us are working and it will be a big decision for us to leave our jobs and opt for an MBA.

Lets discuss all the aspects and options we have.

Few things with which we can start:
1. What is the fee structure (PR)
2. Do we need to give GMAT
3. Top Canadian universities etc

Look forward to your support and cooperation.

Thanks

1. The fee structure is different from university to university. You will have to check the school web sites to see what the fee structure will be for the schools you are interested in attending. As a PR, you will pay domestic student fees.
2. Almost all MBA programs in Canada require the GMAT.
3. Here's one ranking: http://www.canadianbusiness.com/lists-and-rankings/top-10-canadian-mba-schools/?gallery_page=2#gallery_top

take a statistics course. that's the basis of the GMAT math section. choose a specialized program, not a general management program.

and if there are even specific tracks for the specialty, pick one! employers look for people with specializations, not people who can do general work!
