choose between Purdue and Western Ontario

First, thanks everyone who contributed info on CD that help me a lot. I'd CD is really great. No matter how you rank MBA schools, CD MBA is our No. 1, =).

Pudure: $4000/year. Western Ontario: one year mba.

I am canadian citizen already (GMAT 700, US' master and 5 year IT in North America).

Thanks again for any opinions and good luck to you all.

Not sure what's your career goal? Basically Purdue is better in manauracture, technology, supply chain, while (I think) IVEY is kind of good at consultant(IVEY people please correct me if I am wrong).

But, overall the placement in purdue is much better than any Cananda school. So. suggestion is go Purdue.

如果是我， 会选US的学校。 US的JOB MARKET 大一些， 且竞争没有加拿大的厉害。要从长远来看。

I don’t think the statistics data would help. Job-hunting possibility is different for every one. The whole issue depends on where you want to stay after graduation. Besides the size of the job market, the salary level and life expenses are also different.

In your case, I guess the biggest, if not the only, concern could be where you wanna work or live right after graduation. Apparently, you've lived in both countries for a while, so you should've known which side of the border would be better for you. If you give the priority to the states, go for Purdue, or any other top American schools. If you’d like to settle down in Canada for a while, Ivey is definitely much much better than Purdue, or any other American schools (maybe the only exception is Harvard / Wharton. Yes, of course Standford too. But what kind of people leaves the gorgeous California and comes up to the damn cold CanadaJ). Although each school has its own strength and maybe you want to get into some particular industries, it really doesn't matter where you get your MBA (of course we’re talking about decent schools). Ivey is known as consulting school, but we can safely find Iveys get offers from major banks and other financial institutions even more than Rotmans do.

BTW, after your graduation, a Canadian citizenship will help you in a short-term (let’s say one or two years) because it makes you not so “international” and you don’t have to deal with H-1 problems. But eventually you probably still need a greed card.
