Work experience is essential for an accredited MBA program. If you're looking at MBA programs in Toronto, Rotman and Schulich for instance, you'd need at least 4-6 years of work experience to be considered a competitive applicant for their full-time MBA programs.
If you don't have that kind of post-graduate work experience, you might consider a Master in Management program instead. Queen's has a ranked MiM program, and while not in Toronto, it's relatively close.
Agreed that "becoming a manager" is not really a substantial career goal. Your outcome with a Master in Management program, both in terms of seniority and salary, would be lower than with an MBA. That's just the nature of the degree and the fact that it's aimed at people without work experience.
