Top 10 Business Schools in Canada – Every one in two students (current or future) have had a dream of studying somewhere better, more convenient, and even far from home.
And if you are one of them, then Canada hosts several top business schools that specialize in courses and programs related to business and/or administration, and is a one-stop location to earn a degree in business administration or management.
BUT WHY BUSINESS SCHOOLS?
Although business and its institutions have been largely criticized, attending a business school and a Canadian one at that, gives its students an edge in solving real-world problems, even with academic theories, making the foreign or indigenous Canadian business student/graduate smart and professional in handling risks and changes that are common to life.
So, without much ado, the answer you are looking for:

NO FREE FOOD IN CANADA…
Having made your choice (I believe), every good dream has a price tag, and there is no free food, not only in Free Town but also in Canada. So, here are some requirements an intending business student like yourself needs to meet to gain admission into any of these institutions in Canada:
- Honors (bachelor’s degree) from an accredited university.
- GMAT (GRADUATE MANAGEMENT ADMISSION TEST) score.
- Working experience
- One-on-one interview with the university
- Statement of your intention for attending the university (Statement of purpose)
- Two approved recommendation letters from your referees.
- IELTS or TOEFL (i.e., an English language proficiency test)
Conclusion:
In conclusion, making a choice I know might be trying, but any of this is a win-win situation towards your becoming a standard, well-certified business and a ministerial/managerial contributor, not only a graduate but a contributor to your society.
