Do Bay Street banks care about elite LACs?

I got into a top 10 LAC, but I'm probably going to have to wait a year before I get me green card (under family preference). Do you think a T10 LAC will have any pull with Canadian banks for FO roles? Ultimate goal is NY but I don't think I'll stand a chance without PR. Should I just go to Ivey or some other Canadian university? Thanks

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“Excellent advice and help with structuring my CV, I really feel more confident with this last version and learned how to tell my professional story in a more impactful way. I was having trouble with the previous structure and couldn't find the right words or how to portrait my career development in some areas of my CV, but definitely feel I now unlocked the correct way to address it with any company”

“I had a fantastic conversation with him. He was incredibly approachable, knowledgeable, and generous with his time. I particularly appreciated hearing about his experience in the mining industry and gaining insights into the sector, its dynamics, and the different career opportunities within it. What made the conversation especially valuable was his willingness to share his personal experiences, provide thoughtful advice, and offer a perspective that you do not always get from reading about the industry online. He made the conversation engaging and comfortable, and I genuinely enjoyed learning from him. I also appreciated his openness to staying in touch and being helpful in the future. Overall, it was an excellent conversation, and I would highly recommend connecting with him to anyone interested in the mining industry.”
