Do banks ask for transcripts at the time of application?

I know that a lot of threads were made for this, but in my case though, I'm not planning on lying about my GPA. I'll be withdrawing from a single course that isn't at all related to finance. It could seriously hurt my GPA this term since I'm on track for a 4.0 in all of my major-related courses, to the point of reducing my cumulative to less than a 3.7. From what I've read, while a W looks better than a shit grade, it isn't great. I also think I have a decent enough reason for doing so. But will they even have my transcript at the time of the interview to be aware of that? 

Also, I'm from a Canadian target, which is a US non-target, if that affects anything. Thanks!

Not at time of application, for me at JPM I had to provide transcripts before my superday. So when you apply its just the resume they're seeing.

I don't think they look over your classes too hard when they do see your transcript, just your GPA to make sure what you put is what you said.
