I would suggest Waterloo MQF if you are too worried about visa issue. You can always move to the US once you work for 4-5 years in Canada and gain Canadian citizenship.

Hi, To give you a brief background, I have a bachelors degree in engineering from a top 3 institute in India, passed CFA L1 , would be appearing& hopefully passing CFA L2 before I join a masters program in 2011. I have 3 years work experince as a business analyst on the technology side of a...

Are you a EU citizen ? Getting a job in swiss banks from ETHZ maynot be as easy as it seems. Did you apply to Berkeley,CMU, NYU, Baruch.
