MBA to PE/VC in Canada

Currently I'm working at a second tier consulting firm (Big 4, Accenture etc.) in Canada, promoted last year and looking to make the jump to PE/VC with the help of an MBA. I'm looking to stay in Canada after an MBA, which would lend me to think outside of HBS and few other schools, a Canadian school is the best choice, due to cost, location, network etc. I'm hoping for some feedback in a few key areas.

1. With no financial background prior the MBA (undergrad was in econ), is a summer internship in finance required?
2. Does Ivey's network outweigh the need for have a summer internship?
3. What schools are best in Canada at placing students in the buy-side with no prior finance exp?

I'm open to suggestions, and I do understand that PE/VC might not be possible straight out of MBA but I'd like to choose the program that gives me the highest chance now and in the future.

Thanks!
