The Queen's program for example I believe would be open to you.

There are some MBA programs in Ontario that are specifically targeted to those with little to no experience.&nbsp; These programs (McMaster, Wilfrid Laurier) incorporate a work placement (co-op) sandwiched within the program period.&nbsp; While not the top tier, McMaster and Wilfrid Laurier are respectable programs in Ontario and the work experience component is very valuable.&nbsp; In Canada, co-op or summer internships are far more important to your job search than the school brand.&nbsp; &nbsp;In other words, you are better off being a McMaster MBA grad with local co-op experience than being a Rotman MBA grad with zero local work experience / no internships.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Do you mean to say that "local" work experience in Canada is valued more than work experience done elsewhere when applying for jobs? The reason I ask is that I am hoping to do my MBA at Schulich next year (just submitted the application!) and I have 6 years of work experience in the UK. I was planning on pursuing an internship during the program, hopefully in a financial organization but I am worried that several months will not be enough or impressive enough when I look for jobs after the MBA.&nbsp;

Local experience is always more valued, but UK experience is better than most.&nbsp;

I think it ultimately depends on what kind of experience it is, as well as your new job's scope.<br><br>Of course, it's good to have local experience, and an internship should help with this. However, if your UK experience shows good career development, your supervisors will say nice things about you, and you can somehow leverage your experience in your new position, these would all be positives. Although I've found that employers are less likely to contact supervisors across borders, it does happen.
