Another option which no one seems to have mentioned yet is Royal Roads University in Victoria (www.royalroads.ca).  While I didn't get any credits for my mil experience (apparently being an Artillery officer has very little to do with getting an MBA...), their flexible admission process...

KAFoodie, just read your blog, couldn't help but laugh.  I'm now using it to tell people what life is like over here, especially now that you've branched out from just reviewing DFACs.  Keep up the good work!
