In Canada, the main targets are Queen's and Ivey. McGill also has decent recruitment. I believe for AP ex Japan region the main targets would be handful of Chinese schools for the mainland and HKU, NUS, Sydney and Melbourne outside of the mainland
For the German speaking part of Europe the target schools are: University of St. Gallen (HSG), Mannheim, WHU, and maybe the University of Frankfurt and the University of Zurich (this one especially for Economics).
Other target schools in the non German speaking part of Europe are: Bocconi, HEC, Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), Essec, ESCP Europe, Esade and, as you already said, Oxbridge, LSE and maybe Imperial in the UK.
Most of them are not real targets; some BBs come sometimes, mostly to recruit only for the branch offices. You could add Wuerzburg (remember LAZ there and some BBs) and WU (Vienna) where also some BBs and Boutiques visit every year and which is the biggest econ public school in Europe and has a decent alumni base
For Germany, you can add in EBS, LMU Munich and HHL Leipzig. University of Frankfurt is the hidden champion among these to be honest.
For non-german, also add in IE Business School and IESE.
Very good lists Opossum and Powa23, but what about Sciences Po? Any unis from Russia?
These are the top targets that I know of in their respective countries. I'm def no authority on this though.

Hong Kong: University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)
