Moving to Canada, how difficult is it to land MBB in Canada with a non-North American MBA?

New here on WSO, done some research but the information is quite limited. My Canadian fiance and I are planning to relocate to Canada and I've been trying to recruit for Associate roles (Current MBA Student/2022 July Graduation) in Canada. 

A little about my background, Undergrad in Economics from NYU, 5 years WE prior in B4 Consulting S&O at Green Dot in Shanghai. Current INSEAD MBA candidate. 770 GMAT (I heard it matters for some firms...not sure.)

How difficult would it be for INSEAD MBA grads to land an Associates role in MBB HCOL offices (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal)? I'm asking because I can't find many/any associates from INSEAD on Linkedin that placed in Canada. Quite surprising because I know plenty from the previous class that landed MBB roles in NYC, ATL, LA, SF. 

If there's anyone currently at a MBB (or any other T2) in Canada, I would like to know how INSEAD is perceived in consulting circles in Canada and whether the lack of numbers is due to limited spots allocated to international MBA candidates.
