Kinda early no?
Yeah Canadian apps won't be out for a month or so afaik
Not banking, but fidelity opened up SA 2025 for ER in toronto… yes maybe a bit early but probably only by a few weeks
Wouldn't it be even further? Globals are dropping in late Feb/Early March (they did session at our school and that's what they said), so I doubt B6 would be any earlier.
RBC SA25 just dropped for Calgary
RBC diversity Award program S25 (Canada) has opened
Still cannot apply. Believe it opens in a few weeks.
Does anyone know when the B6 generally open their applications? I know RBC has posted some but I am wondering the general timeline for the other banks. Thanks!
Around Feb start
Had a coffee at one of the B6 and they said April
Anyone down to make a discord server for Canadian IB recruiting for more fluid communication?

Anyone have an idea on TD/Scotia, know RBC is open but who else is following on?
TD dropped Calgary and Vancouver, BMO dropped Calgary, CIBC dropped Vancouver
Are Toronto apps out yet? I applied to a few but haven’t seen the same volume as Vancouver and Calgary.
Scotia I heard from some A&A two weeks
Heard what?
Scotia Vancouver process is starting - group coffee chats were sent out this week.
Anyone heard back from National Bank diversity?
Wondering about this as well
Interested as well.
bump
What's the word
The sentiment (based on chats) appears to be first rounds in 2-4 weeks for globals, but anything from mid march to late april for Big 5 (non diversity). There appears to be a lot of uncertainty on when the ball is going to get rolling.
TD Calgary had first rounds last week pretty sure I goofed tf outta mine and they already sent Superday interviews
ohh do you happen to know when did they send the superday invite? last week they said the updates will be sent out mid late this week
Any updates on when Scotia or CIBC starts diversity hiring?
Anybody heard whether Morgan Stanley Toronto has started their D&I first round interview? And if you know anybody who got the interview
Can confirm they have kicked off.
Can you dm me please, If possible.
Do you know if they have started their regular process yet or is this for D&I only

Barclays is done.

Any insights on Calgary ones
TD is done, I think the globals are as well. IDK beyond that.
scotia and cibc calgary are all in the middle of interviews rn, will probably finalize this week or early next week
Not too familiar with the Canadian process but trying to help a friend through it. Do the bigger banks give out offers in multiple waves? Are there multiple superdays every few weeks or does it just get done in one shot in Canada? Asking since the UK is usually multiple super days spread across a few weeks/months
Big 5 would be entirely based around getting selected by your school team for interviews, typically not rolling. If you don't have a process with school captains and such I don't exactly know how it works.
How do we know who’s on our school team?
Thanks man, appreciate it. Do you know if it's similar for globals?
Anyone have any idea when Big 5 Toronto will get going?
cibc toronto should open late march early April, and i believe TD toronto is one of the latest and opening mid-late april with interviews running into early may
How do you know about CIBC?
Anyone know if Canadian S&T is also accelerated (i.e. happening now) or is there still some time before recruiting kicks off?
Anyone hear back after TD BTG 1st round?
anyone hear back after BofA first round
No. Wbu? R2 should be out given it's a friday
Yeah, I had just assumed I was rejected at this point

Moelis has a Toronto office?
Delete
No
According to Moelis's own website this is simply not an office that exists?
Did the Nigerian prince who told you about Moelis Toronto applications also offer you his a share of his fortune?
