Canadian sophomore here that goes to a semi-target(Rotman, Waterloo, Schulich). Last year (2017-2018), I took a year off school due to personal reasons, and since then have not done much during the year. I have good grades, but slightly average EC's and WE. Do I still have a shot at investment banking if I start networking now and prep for interviews? Thanks in advance!

I've heard recruiting will be tough this year in general for Canadians if your looking at American Banks (NYC, SF, etc.) That being said shot your shot because you have nothing to lose. You may need to ramp up networking like crazy though (maybe 5 to 6 calls per day), considering other kids from your school have probably already hit up your alumni.
do you know which banks are still taking canadians?
sorry bud, i'm not completely sure you will probably have to reach out to contacts and HR about it. My guess would be most of the larger BB's and some EB's (EVR, LAZ) are still taking canadians, but other places that are smaller or just generally have a smaller analyst class (PJT, PWP) will probably not bother due to the Visa headaches. That's just my guess though. Still spread your net wide.
