Bump. Anyone have experience as a student at an American university applying to these programs?Hold dual citizenship and lived in Canada for 10 years, so have a strong connection to it.
Yes, I recruited last year for SA 2023 and I attend an east coast super target here in the States but am Canadian citizen. Did not network with Canadian banks/satellite offices at all (was 100% committed to NY but applied as a backup/for fun) and received multiple superday invites (RBC, JPM Calgary, TD etc.) purely based on my target school brand name. Ultimately signed with an MM here in NYC but the greatest hurdle for those Canadian interviews was "why move back to Canada" (basically, asking me y I would voluntarily downgrade from NY to a tier 2 city when NY was a lock) and I fumbled hard on that question. Basically tried to just BS my way thru, explaining how I'm Canadian, and my friends and family are all in Canada so I want to be closer to them, blah blah blah.
Hope that helps.
Could you give some insight into what timelines looked like for you, compared to american offices?
Salute to all my fellow IB soldiers, let the process begin...
So far, I've seen these positions open:
Anybody know anywhere else who have positions posted / upcoming?
I never saw RBC open. https://www.rbccm.com/en/careers/programs.page?region=CA
Is there another place you're seeing them?
Yep, they should be at this link:
https://jobs.rbc.com/ca/en/featuredopportunities/student-early-talent-jobs
Did JP Morgan start interviewing?
JPM Cal hirvues been out
everyone gets it
Greenhill opening resume drops to targets.
Can confirm, only sent to target / semi-target investment clubs I am pretty sure.
Just out of curiosity which semi-targets did it get sent out too?
Lazard Toronto opening soon.
Anyone have any info on Evercore Toronto? I see US postings open on the website, but nothing about the Toronto office. Thanks!
Toronto is part of the US application as a package.
Didn't notice it first. Thanks for informing me. Any insights on the recruitment process there? I reached out to some analyst but haven't gotten in contact with any of them unfortunately. They're probably getting blown up with messages right now, but how much sway do Analysts have in the process? Thanks for any info you can provide.
Good luck to all. Summer 2023 was pretty brutal with intern numbers slashed. Hope yall have it better.
Facts
TDS recruiting at all?
TD Securities has their diversity scholarship program running right now, applications close in less than 10 days. I don't think their regular recruiting has started yet for SA 2024.
saw vancouver sa 2024 out but not on their career page - it was on linkedin
Diversity interviews out
Do any firms do new grad recruiting? Or is there no point since they can just pick directly from past interns?
Timelines this year are ridiculous
i agree - nbf running diversity and regular process at same time
Is this the earliest it's ever been for Canada? I thought we usually recruited after the US, but now I see we are on par with US timelines which are already heavily accelerated compared to the past.
Earliest and it's only going to get earlier each year.
Anyone know when the deadlines to apply for MS and Barclays toronto are?
Protip: Don't wait until the deadline
MS superdays for targets and diversity was last week so you should have already applied. Will continue with non div regular next month.
Source: believe me
can confirm
A little off-topic, but why are all the Big 4 accounting firms posting their Summer 2024 positions now? Is this normal?
was told that big 4 recruitment got moved up as well - CPA cocktails in the next 2 weeks
anyone heard back for EVR TO supers?
when was super?

Anyone know anything about Citi S&T?
Hey everyone. I am wondering if anyone knows for the Montreal office and IB summer analyst positions, do the big 5 banks require you to be bilingual?
Just wondering if I’m mainly targeting Toronto but open to Montreal if I should be applying for both offices or if Montreal is a waste of time given I’m not bilingual.
You need to be speak french and english in order to work in Montreal
Our interns do not need to speak French to be in mtl. As a full time employee you will need to but I have seen many interns do their summer in mtl and then get the return offer based in toronto
Did NB Diversity scholarship give out first rounds ?
anyone hear back?
Didn't applications just close? Haven't heard anything back as of yet.
Anyone have insight on Rothchild TO?
I haven't
Has anyone heard back from Greenhill Toronto yet, they're apps closed on Friday so I'm assuming they started contacting people? Applied to MS Diversity too, didn't hear back, is it doomed? I went to the MS networking event for diversity applicants too.
I heard MS TO interviews were already done
I think MS didn't send invitations to interviews yet.
MS accelerated is done. Regular rounds begin in the next 2-3 weeks.
Greenhill trt's already done w first-rounds, and I'm assuming all of the other teams in the US are also done hiring
They sent out first rounds but certainly haven't finished conducting them yet.
Has anyone also heard back from BofA yet?
Did you network?
any update?
First rounds went out for top candidates. Rolling as they screen.
Have you hear back for an offer?
Anyone hear back from Greenhill?

BofA sent accelerated 1st round this week
toronto?
Yes, 1st round early next week
How do you know it's accelerated process
Can confirm — interviewed today morning. Quite possibly the hardest interview I've ever given in my life technically. Grinded through all the guides over the last week but choked so hard on the interview.
was it a video interview or call?
Lol seconded. Super intense and math heavy. Obscure questions.
imo - not technical heavy, second the obscure questions though..
any update from bofa?
Interviews still happening this week
Think MS, GS, and Barclays are waiting for April or May
Consolidated updates: Info only for Toronto
RBC First round of SD this week (top candidates)
Greenhill First round this week
Lazard First round this week
BofA First round this week
BMO Diversity SD wrapping up
CIBC beginning to roll
RBC diversity offers out
MS non accelerated rounds next 1-2 weeks (offers out for accelerated)
GS next 1-3 weeks (less known)
EVR accelerated offers out, may or may not have further rounds
TD reviewing diversity applicants, networking event open
Scotia holding campus events, likely will begin rolling in next 2-3 weeks (historically NextFifty apps drop soon)
NBF reviewing diversity apps first
Barclays has not begun, historically later on
UBS shortlisting candidates through coffee chats, not sure of current SD process
CS no longer recruiting -> Not a big loss ngl bunch of nerds
