Based on the most helpful WSO content, RBC's response time after a Superday (SPD) can vary. Some candidates have reported hearing back within a few days, while others have experienced longer waiting periods. It's not uncommon for banks to take up to a week or more to finalize decisions, depending on internal processes and the number of candidates being evaluated.

If you haven't heard back yet, it's advisable to remain patient for a few more days. If no response is received after a week, a polite follow-up email to the recruiter or HR contact can be a good way to check on the status of your application.

Bump. In the same boat - had one very recently and was told by others who have gone through the process that it would be around 24-48 hours and was told on the call it would be a day or two... but have heard on here it can take as long as a week. Good luck!

 

sorry bud i think its cooked. try to get yourself into some ongoing MM and Boutique processes

 

Yea if it's close to two weeks at this point I would take that as a rejection and move on
