Seeking MBA admissions in Canadian Universities

You will have to do research on the individual universities to find out the requirements. Ryerson accepts only a 4-year bachelor's, Schulich accepts a 3 year degree but they want one year of work experience (in addition to the two years in their admission details), for which you may not qualify, considering you just completed your Bachelor's.

Have you looked at the requirements for the universities in question? If you need help in applying, then it would be better to go with a consultant who can help you.
You can just look on the college's website, you know.
I looked up Schulich for you.

Applicants with 3-year degrees may be considered for admission with one year of work experience beyond the required minimum.
Minimum is 2 years, so you'll need 3 years of work ex. to be eligible for Schulich.
You can expect that large Canadian universities understand what a 'good' score from another large university is. If your score is truly good, they will know it.
To get into an MBA at York or other top schools you probably need very good marks. International students may have lower entrance scores because of the higher tuitions costs.
I have started checking admission requirements for Ryerson. It states four years bachelor or equivalent!
Yes, i have also consulted IDP, co-owner of IELTS. It says my score are really low and they have been giving me options for vancover island university.
Okay, btw what's wrong with vancouver Island uni.please tell me.
I am applying for it just to be on the safe side. The consultant, IDP has been telling me that i won't be able to make out bacuse i have three year degree and scored 60 per cent which is considered good score in my university( Delhi University)
If you are trying to use the MBA to seek employment in Canada most employers haven’t heard of VIU. The MBA won’t be considered equal to most of the MBAs programs in Canada. Lots of money for little return. VIU doesn't Require GMAT and has the reputation of admitting most people which is why most consultants recommend the school. Also unsure if they pay consultants per student that attend their school. I know some universities do.
I don't know if VIU would pay consultants - maybe - but I do know that they used to be "Malaspina College" until the BC Liberals tried to secure their re-election by renaming some community colleges universities. In Canada, "university" is a higher level of post-secondary education - it's the top. It can offer masters' and PhD degrees. Universities do original research, have research labs, publishing faculty, etc. Colleges typically cannot offer higher degrees and do not have a lot of faculty that do original research, but they are getting more and more BAs that they can offer. Community colleges are the lowest of the post-secondary sector in Canada, and rarely offer degrees.
So VIU used to be a college and only became a university very recently. Its MBA program is new and not as well-established as other schools. While it's thousands of times better than an MBA offered by a private "college", it may not be as well-recognized in other parts of the world.
