Masters in Finance directly out of undergrad to break into IB/S&T

As a current 4th year at a top business undergrad in Canada (Ivey/Qcomm) who does not have any relevant high finance internships (Accounting/CD/Lower Market PE), and no full-time prospects so far, would it be worth doing a masters at UofT or a good American school to have a better chance and more time to break into IB or S&T?
