What about the Queen's MBA? I noticed it was ranked as one of the top international business schools by Businessweek. I'm interested in it myself, but I'm not sure if the location is going to work (I'm thinking Toronto might be better.)

Location-wise, it's not exactly ideal, but if you can deal with that it's not a bad program. Salary statistics are on par with the other good one-year options (although they're generally lower than those of McGill/Rotman/etc.)
And it would depend on your career goals. The program offers specializations - that's rare for a 1-year MBA. Accounting curriculum is quite good.

Thanks - I'm starting to think that the location doesn't bother me as much as I thought, considering that I've just read that the school does periodic networking trips into Toronto. It's just that there aren't many MBA programs in the area that are only one year long (Ryerson excluded.)
Plus, the healthcare specialization would be really perfect in terms of my career path.

Sounds good. FYI Schulich also offers a specialization in healthcare - although it's not a one-year program, still something to be aware of...

Thanks, but I'm pretty focused on one year options. Too much time away from work, lost wages, etc.

Hello, I am interested in these programs as well - I like the one year MBA programs so I don't have to be away from work for such a long time. I'm from Italy, are these programs good if I want to work in Canada after I graduate?
I'm researching 1 year MBA programs in Canada. These are the ones that I have selected to apply to so far:
* Concordia - "Accelerated" MBA (only for students with an undergraduate degree in business, which I have.)
* HEC Montréal - "Intensive" MBA
* Ryerson (Toronto) - MBA
* University of British Columbia - MBA
Are there any better 1 year MBAs in Canada that I'm missing? I'd like to do a program that has a concentration in innovation, but it's not a deal-breaker if there isn't one. Also, I prefer Montréal but am open to other cities.
Thanks! -Ciao

I'm pretty sure that visa-wise, you'd get a one-year visa post-MBA, during which time you can look for a job that would help you get a more secure status (I think for the two year programs you get a two-year visa post-MBA, but look into this for yourself.)
As mentioned earlier in this thread, doing a one year program usually means that you don't get to do an internship, which can be a good route to employment, not to mention solid practical experience.

Ok I see, thank you. I might do a two year program instead. McGill looks interesting.

Are there any other 1 year MBAs in Toronto besides Ryerson? Also, how in Montreal for careers (I don't speak French.)

You can search at http://www.find-mba.com/search/ I see that UoT has a One Year Executive MBA.

Queen's, even if it's not in Toronto, is the only real full-time MBA option in the broader Ontario region.
In terms of career in Montreal, I'd say not speaking French puts you at a disadvantage; however, there might be opportunities in some of the more globally-focused companies, like Ubisoft, Air Canada, etc. To do business in the region though, you'll probably want to have French skills.

Well that makes my decision quite hard. I'd like to be in Toronto, and don't want to spend too much money. But from what I've read about Ryerson the return on investment isn't as good as an MBA from Rotman or Schulich. Queen's is a good alternative but in actuality pretty far from Toronto. Do you know anything about the ROI from this school?

Businessweek tends to rank it highly but strangely enough FT doesn't rank it at all.
In terms of salaries, it's comparable with Schulich, but Rotman salaries are better than both. I think it would depend on your career goals. Queen's has better placements in consulting while the other two, not surprisingly given their Toronto location, excel for careers in financial services.

Got it. And just one last question, do you think that it would be hard to get a job in Toronto if I did my MBA at Queen's?

While I don't think it's out of the question, I do think that it would be a bit challenging to get to Toronto often enough to network, given the 270ish kilometers between the two places. A car would be handy, I'd imagine.
I would speculate that grads are more likely to find work in Ottawa, which is closer. But that's a conversation you should have with the school.

I see. I'll try to talk to somebody at Queen's about this. Thanks for the help.

I see that McGill only has one deadline (in January), but is it like other programs that have rounds where you're more likely to get scholarship money if you apply early? I am running behind on my application and if it's the case that I'd be eligible for more money if I applied earlier, then I would wait until next year... Any advice?
