    I am 30-40 credits away from my bachelor degree.

    I have decided to go for either PennFoster college or Ashworth College due to fast self paced programs as well as money factor.

    I want to proceed my masters later, more likely MBA here in Canada. Please help me to decide one school whom Bachelor degree will help me to get into Master degree here in Canada.

    Thanks.

    Neither of the schools would give an strong application for a rigorous MBA program in Canada. However, admission is very subjective so one school might accept while other might not.

    My suggestion is to finish either degree and then get into a graduate diploma or certificate from "Distance" education friendly Canadian school like Thompson Rivers or Athabasca. Either of these two schools would be more likely to take a Penn foster degree as they are also distance schools. Once you get the graduate diploma from Athabasca or Thompson, then you can apply for a more prestigious school like Ottawa, Jmsb, UoT, etc.
    A strong of GMAT of at least 600 would be required for admission into a good MBA.

    If you try to apply to any of the known schools like Queens, McGill, Jmsb, etc, you most likely would be turned down with a low tier distance degree so my advice is to advance to a graduate diploma from a better school first.
