I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON)
Interview
I was asked few general questions along with few technical questions. The interview environment was quite friendly. If you are not nervous you should be through. If possible try to prepare for some sql questions. Technical questions are mostly straight from the books. Prepare some questions which you can ask as well.

Interview
Submitted initial application online. Was invited to on-site in a few weeks. No phone interview. Onsite consisted of three one on one interviews with the hiring manager MD, and couple of his team members, all three were relatively senior people. One of them was a quant, others were more behavioral and asked more about my resume/experience.
