I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at CIBC (Vancouver, BC) in Dec 2016
Interview
First i got a 5 min call from their recruiter to set a phone call interview, then another 48min call interview the following day from the same person. I advise against accepting an interview the following day, you need more time to prepare.
