hec montreal —> IB in toronto

hey guys i have been strongly considering a masters in finance in HEC montreal, from what I have saw they have a strong presence in Quebec how is it for Toronto and calgary? also i dont speak french which ik will hurt my chances in landing a job in montreal, my plan is to make the most of the two years in terms of extracurriculars and building a good resume however i would be targeting toronto or calgary for summer internships and FT offers do you think its possible or should I go for a masters in econ at mcgill, uoft , queens etc.. but i wouldn’t get the b-school experience

Quebec: McGill > HEC

Rest of Canada: Toronto > Western > Queens

I'm thinking of going to HEC for an MBA. Since I dont want to pay $110K-$120K for an MBA. HEC costs $19,500 and it's ranked well across Canada. The others listed are just a step above

 

A lot of Mfin graduates from HEC Mtl go on to work at CDPQ. If you don't speak French at all that's pretty much a closed door for you.

Why not do the McGill Mfin? It places extremely well at pension funds (PSP for sure, probably OMERS and CPP too). I'm not that knowledgeable on the IB scene, so I can't really comment on that if it's really what you want to do. I heard good things about UofT financial economics program tho.

 

okay forget IB, lets focus on any decent/consulting finance role which program do u think will lead to higher chances hec mfin or uoft/mcgill masters in econ
