Breaking into Trading in Canada - What are the best Grad programs for it?

To all the Canadians on WSO

just wondering what's the best grad program to do if your interested in trading or S&T?

Is an mba the best way to go? masters in finance? CFA?

The whole trading scene is kinda weak here compared to the states but i'd love some feed back from some veterns on this topic
