I don't think you are a strong candidate at any school in the FT or Economist top 100. Your PGDM score is pretty okay, so focus on improving your GMAT, a second European language and extracurricular work.

If you're interested in Canada, French will help you get residence points. Of course it's the easiest way in to the other Romance languages for English speakers.

Its is less valuable for obvious reasons, but its still work.
