BMO Corporate Banking - Toronto

Hi all,

Just wondering if any of you have any advice on applying for corporate banking jobs in Toronto. What will the interview questions be like? I talked to one MD at a BB Canadian bank who implied its almost all behavioral, is this accurate? What should I be reading up on/guides that would be useful for interview?

Thanks in advance, this forum has provided me with tons of useful advice over the past year.
