Canadian Big 5 and Non target school

Do they ever hire people from non target school with 4.00 cgpa? Or the Canadian IB sector is entirely focused on target schools only? Asking because I hardly saw people from non target on LinkedIn who works for RBC or BMO capital markets.

Bruh TD has taken people from schools in Manitoba for FO roles, RBC has taken people from like Ryerson and east-coast non-targets, Simon Fraser has done decently, I've seen UOttawa people get in, Concordia/UMontreal too, it definitely happens
