Canadian IBD -> NY / London BB IBD Lateral
I'm a first year analyst at a Big 5 Canadian bank in Canada who joined off cycle this past January. I like Toronto but I really want to spend my second and / or third year in NY / London and do PE/HF recruiting from there. What is the best way to approach this?
Should I network with school alumni and guys working in NY / London who used to be in my group? Should I go through head hunters? And is it too soon to start looking around? How much experience should I have before people will take me serious as a lateral? Are the Visa issues better or worse as a lateral vs. a fresh student?

You might want to check out transferring to one of those locations within your bank. I know somebody who was at a big bank 5 in Canada and are now with the same bank in London.
as blah23 mentioned the path of least resistance is to transfer internally. The Visa can be a def issue in US if you are looking to join a new bank - especially for junior positions.
I've rarely seen this happen, you've got to be a rockstar and I've only seen it happen at the US BB in Toronto (JPM,MS,CS)
