Incoming analyst to start in a Canadian city. I was wondering if Canadians ever participate in on-cycle recruiting?
Do Canadians ever get OC looks from UMM/MF PE out of Canadian shops, or is it generally just off-cycle? How do they manage to leave the office for interviews given that buy-side recruitment is largely looked down upon by banks in Canada?
Would appreciate any insights you may have on this!

Canadians get no looks lol, would be lucky to come away with a LMM US PE offer. Lateral to the states asap.
How to lateral?
It's possible if you're at a US bank in Canada. Know former analysts at MS/GS Toronto that got offers at UMM/MFs in the US
