I am 37 year old Finance profesional,( CFA, FMR) .What are chances of me getting into TOP colleges in Canada.Can age lead to my Visa rejection as I am from India
 
Are you doing a MBA at a top university or a post graduate diploma/certificate at a college? Does the program advance your career in your home country? Can you justify spending thousands of dollars with a new job, higher salary etc?

You have a CFA. Very few college degrees will lead to career advancement Except maybe anMBA from a decent school. What is your job history?
 
Maybe a master finance research program? Like quantitative finance? If you can apply for Sauder or Rotman commerce, I think it would be ok.

Yep, as others have told it has to be an MBA from a very good university. You already hold advanced qualifications, there will be demand for justification.

Age would not be a problem I think since some MBA or Master of Finance programs require 2 years or more of work experience. But your resume should be quite impressive if you want to get in, like work experience in related field firms, high GPA, your experience of capital managing (maybe proof that you were investing and managing your portfolio and you earned xx% more than the original investment. Nothing too professional but just to showcase you interest and passion for finance) etc. anything that can showcase your commerce skills, no matter academic wise or practices wise. But then I think you also need to find a balance that you have an impressive background to get into masters but then you gotta prove to the visa officers why even though you are experienced in commerce but still wanna get a master in Canada
