I'm not surprised that you got rejected from Sauder - you have the bare minimum for their work experience requirements.
If I were you, I would get another year or two of work experience and then try again.
Be advised that programs that are strong in finance or investment banking are most likely going to be looking for candidates with solid quantitative skills - something that a strong GMAT score demonstrates. And the schools that have the best finance placements are most likely going to be in Toronto: Schulich and Rotman. Work experience, as I am sure you are probably aware, will be an issue at these schools.
As a potential alternative considering your low work experience, why not look into a master in management or master in finance program. I've heard the Rotman Master of Finance is quite good.

Hello, have you made a decision about this? I am in a similar position as you, with low work experience but with a higher GMAT score - 690. Would be interested in hearing if you found any good MBA programs in Canada that were interested in you even with only two years of work experience.
