Canadian route (harder): Ivey/Queen’s/UofT for business school.
US route (easier): M7 and apply.

Went the harder route and still couldn’t crack the Canadian offices. Very tricky and based on many factors I guess. Going to ME office now, leaving the PR track on hold. The money helps but I still would have loved to stay back in Toronto.

In general or in the current environment?

Easy thru M7

Go to INSEAD. The Montreal office of all MBB is like half INSEAD.

As an experienced hire just get a referral and you'll probably get an interview

Apply a European office that isn’t London or Paris. They even let me in!
