Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights on Canadian bank bonuses:

  1. RBC Toronto: According to a user in the Sales and Trading forum, the bonuses were described as "really bad" and there was evident dissatisfaction.

  2. Big 5 Banks: For Sales and Trading, bonuses are typically announced in December, following the October 31 fiscal year-end.

  3. General Timing: Bonuses at most Canadian banks are declared around December, with some banks providing numbers in early December and payouts around Christmas.

  4. Bonus Pool Trends: In previous years, some groups have reported an increase in the bonus pool, such as a 15% increase mentioned by an Analyst 2 in IB - Cov.

For more detailed and specific numbers, you might want to check the latest threads on WSO or ask colleagues within your network.
