Answer
Hi Pinak

I'm sure there are excellent engineering schools in Canada.  Electrical engineering can be difficult as can any engineering program.  You will need to be proficient in many math subjects and physics with a special interest in electronics and electrical circuit theory.  Computer science will be used.  You will take basic engineering courses - perhaps strength of materials, chemistry, statics, dynamics, etc.  You will take electives in a variety of liberal arts courses such as history, business, English (or French), and so on.

As for an MBA, you will have to be very proficient in communication (written and oral), which may be your greatest challenge coming from out of country.  Canada is a safe place to study.

Good luck.

Paul
