Canada Business Undergrad: Queens vs McGill?

I have received offers to both Queens Commerce and McGill Desautels, but I am divided on which program to pick. I am planning on going into finance, probably IB, after graduation. I would like to work abroad (Europe or the US). I really love Montreal and McGill, but I have heard Queens commerce offers better job prospects and recruiting in finance? However, I really do not see a difference in their employment reports and alumni on linkedin. Which program do you think would be the best choice for my future plans?

McGill is better for Europe, Asia and Montreal . queens is better for USA and rest of Canada ((including Toronto) . based on where you want to work , I would do queens due to North American opportunities but if you want Usa, it isn’t as easy to get a working visa. Europe should be easier especially if you speak another language

 

Thanks for your reply! I am a dual citizen for the US, so a visa wouldn’t be an issue and apparently I can work in Europe because my dads a French citizen (idk if thats true though). Are the differences significant, where I would be stupid to pick McGill over Queens based on quality of life and friends that are going? Or are they marginal?
