What can I do to enter into IB a year from now?

Hello everyone! 

I am current doing post- baccalaureate diploma from a college in Vancouver, BC. Previously I have completed both the levels of Financial Risk Manager (FRM) examinations and have a bachelors degree in Finance. I do plan on getting my CFA too in future.

I have done an internship don't have a strong work experience background except for some customer service experience but I do have a good academic background. I am interested in getting into IB first and later on progress to hedge fund industry. I am pretty young and determined to learn and gain whatever skills are required to get into IB. I graduate next year in December. Please guide me what can I do starting today so I can get hired by IBs.

Thank you all for your guidance in advance!

PS: No negativity please, although criticism is appreciated :))
