Banks that sponsor TN visa (Canadians only)

Since the TN situation is getting more and more complicated, can we compile a list of banks that sponsor Canadians? I think it would helpful for all us based out of Canada to have an idea of where to concentrate our efforts in the US. From what I’ve gathered:

Sponsors: GS (heard from multiple sources that they’re great at managing the situation for the most part, however know 3 individuals who’s visa didn’t pass)

Evercore (“who tf outside of finance knows about evercore” - current analyst there)

San Fran has taken a lot of Canadians historically and I know NYC has hired for this cycle. From what I've heard LA used to hire Ivey, but recently they've only been hiring from US targets.

 

Depends on the school - processes for XYZ might not apply for ABC. E.g. Moelis NY takes several from Queen's but the same cannot be said for CS SF (Ivey). So its pretty variable depending on the school. NY firms tend to take mainly Queen's kids from what I've seen but Ivey has a stranglehold on West Coast (SF/LA). That's being said, recruiting at Ivey is on a serious decline. Previous years, even 2-3 years ago, close to 30 kids would get banking jobs in the US. Now, only one from Evercore (NY), 2-3 HL (LA -RX/M&A), 3 CS (SF), 0 from Qatalyst (apparently they'll stop recruiting there going forward due to visas), 2 from Silver Lake (Menlo) are going to the US as far as I know. (Knowledge limited to word of mouth on campus, Ivey).
