Overcoming Low GPA for FT recruiting? Have solid work experience

Hey guys I'll be graduating next year and want to prepare for FT IB recruiting since the timeline is becoming super accelerated. For some background, I'm in Canada and go to a "target" school in the country but I'm assuming the US and international firms on't give a fuck about Canadian school prestige. I have solid work experience from a global bank (think BNP/Nomura/HSBC/SocGen) capital markets experience, and also have a private equity internship from a pension fund here (they don't give return offers). However I have a subpar GPA, and I don't want to be autodinged by HR or online systems. I was wondering what is the best way to over come this? I already tried networking but that wasn't too fruitful for my past internships, so now I was thinking should I look at options like the GMAT/GRE/CFA level 1?
