How much pull does a VP have when it comes to getting an internship?

Hey monkeys, long time lurker & a first time poster here, My question is that how much can a VP at a BB help me in getting an internship in US. I am currently in my final year at a non-target school in Canada with no previous internship experience. Thanks.

In my experience anybody, even analysts, can recommend to HR that you get a phone screen and that can be quite effective. Obviously the higher up you go the more weight somebody's recommendation is (and if they have a good track record referring quality applicants), but at the end of the day unless you're pretty well connected if you blow it in the phone screen it doesn't matter.
