I think it likely depends on your background prior to the MBA, as one is a 2 year program with a summer break as opposed to a 1 year. It does appear like Rotman is on the up where as Ivey has been a big stagnant lately, purely perception from talking to people

Do people agree with this? Rotman/Schulich/Queens > Ivey for MBA?

2019 update, and I got this straight from HR at one of the big 5. Basically, there are three categories of grad schools, Tier 1 target, Tier 2 target, and then Others. Since Queens' MBA became a 1 year program, it dropped down to a Tier 2 target because it does not have a summer internship, just like Ivey. Right now the Tier 1 targets for Canadian IB are Rotman, Schulich, and McGill. Tier 2 include Ivey, Queens, UBC, McMaster, and two others. Others category include Ryerson, Brock, Laurier, etc. That's not saying if you go to Ivey MBA, you will have no shot at Canadian IB, just that the first three schools will have a crack at it first (through their summer internship) before tier 2 does.

 

Ive been accepted for both the Schulich & the Ivey MBA's and haven spoken to Alums and graduate students at both schools, Schulich barely places anyone in IB. At least that what I heard, and most people go into commercial banking. Ivey on the other hand places heavily into consulting, and even placed into IB & PE from their MBA class of 2020. Im suprised the HR stated Schulich was a target over Ivey!
