I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2014
Interview
Phone interview first, took around half an hour, just basically walked through your resume. Then a quick and simple language test(cuz I applied for a bilingual position) which required you to read a sentence in different languages. Last step was in person interview. Walked through resume again, then followed by a matching question, in the end was the role pay-promoted credit card to the client.

Interview
The telephone interview was not as friendly as I expected. It was like an interrogation and made me feel guilty for applying. I was nervous as it was my first interview. No additional questions, no empathy at all. Maybe I had a bad luck with the HR person.
