MBA Decision: Vanderbilt ($$$$) vs UofToronto ($$) vs Georgetown ($) vs. Yale (waitlist)

Title notes the decision I'll have to make within the next couple of weeks. Additional profile info:
Undergrad: Top 20 Liberal Arts School in the North East
Experience: 1 year in asset management in the US, followed by 4 years in consulting in South Asia for the World Bank (work permits are tough)
Work authorization: Dont have US work authorization, will qualify for work permit/PR in Canada if I choose UofT
Target industry: IB
Target Geography: Don't care, as long as it's in North America. Europe/Australia works too. Just want to break into the industry and get a work-permit which is getting increasingly difficult in the US and England.

Would appreciate input on this decision, as well as any details on the recruiting prospects of these schools for IB.
