Answer 1

I don't know about law -- but the best MBA programs in Canada are at:

The University of Western Ontario (Ivey School)
University of Toronto (Rottman School)
University of British Columbia

Answer 2

So many qns. Let's see......

Best place to practice is in Ontario. (Other Canadians may differ in this view). But be aware, more lawyers there are, more competition there is.

For legal firms, you should approach them direct. Cdn.Law Society is the first place to stop. Check their website. To enhance your chances, you should have something solid to offer. Of course Canadian law is a must to know to practice - I don't need to tell you that.

Which city? Toronto. It is the equivalent of Mumbai in its activity, business, culture, people, diversity etc..Difference? Toronto is lot cleaner and well laid out. It is a beautiful city.

Jr. lawyers earn anywhere from $35 to $40,000 a year. It is just enough to have a comfortable life style. Don't convert this to your currency. It will sound like a lot. You earn in $s. You are spending in $s. Conversion does not work. Forget about conversion the minute you board the plane.

Immigration lawyers have a place but there are a lot of self styled immigration consultants. They make good money but the need for lawyers of all kinds of specialty is there in Canada.

Did you talk to your immigration officer at the Canadian Embassy? They are supposed to help. If they didn't, then ask. They are quite helpful.

After you land, there are a lot of immigration self help centers within Canada. They have answers to all your qns and then some, such as how to settle, where, how much I need, your rights and obligations, your own ethnic group support structure etc... etc.... Look in the yellow pages or do extensive research on the internet. Do your homework. No handouts are available. Your independence in doing things on your own is a must.

Just landing in Canada all bright eyed and bushy tailed does not help you get ahead. You have a lot of work to do. If you have wifey (a couple of them may be?) and kiddoooos, your work is doubly hard. But everyone somehow makes it in the end. That's the beauty of living in Canada. You will love it here.

Good luck.
