Based on the application trends of international students immigrating to Canada in recent years, the business programs in Canada are undoubtedly the first choice for the majority of Chinese students. Chinese students are very enthusiastic about various rankings and the reputation of schools, which makes the business schools of prestigious universities the targets for students. Institutions such as the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia, the Ivey Business School at Western University, and the Schulich School of Business at York University are all ranked among the top 100 business schools worldwide. Every year, international students flock to these business schools, but the actual admission rates are quite low. For the currently popular MBA programs, let me briefly discuss the basic admission requirements of these business schools: an IELTS score of 7.0 (Ivey 6.5); a GMAT score of 600 (however, the average GMAT scores of the aforementioned schools are above 650); and work experience. Seeing these basic requirements, I believe you should have a general idea. I think it is important not to overly rely on rankings; what matters is whether the school is suitable for you, whether its programs meet your needs, and what you learn by the time you graduate, as well as whether you can achieve your educational goals. The Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba is a very suitable place.
