I believe what you should be looking for is iBBA at York.
However, since you have only "recently" taken interests in this, I suspect your interests may be temporary.
University applications in Ontario have been submitted. I didn't submit to Schulich because my marks aren't high enough. My marks slipped to mid-high eighties; the cut off for Schulich is 90. Anyways I'd like to go to UoT because it's a family tradition (parent's went UoT) and the prestige/fame that comes with UoT. I think UoT is the most well known university in Canada. Am I right?
Well the interest in Korea is fairly new, started about 2 or 3 months ago? I want to work in Asia again and Korea is one of the possibilities.
I dunno, although people consider me more CBC than Fob, I'd like to consider myself a Hong Kong Fob. I've always wanted to go back to Hong Kong after university because I lived there as a kid and moved back to Canada when I was 6. I haven't been back in almost 11 years now.

What I've said before for these kinds of questions: most people don't realize that the academics at good universities are very similar. So ranking are really BS. What matters is the connections you make while at school. You can make connections anywhere, so go where you feel comfortable and are likely to make a lot of friends.
To a certain degree you can make different kinds of connections at different schools. I would guess that west-coast schools (UBC or Simon Fraser if you are limited to Canada) are best for connections to Asia. For example, a lot of rich Asian business owners send their kids to UBC. Make friends with these people and you can get the job interviews you want.
I know that networking is important in the university and I intend to be get to know as many people as possible. I'm staying in the Toronto since I can't afford to live outside (I could, but then I wont have enough for graduate school if I choose to go to one; probably mba).
