I’ve done my uni part time while working full time in private wealth for big 5 in Canada. So I’ve never considered applying to internships before.
Looking to change careers from WM to corp finance and I’m finding out that a good amount of FT offers are given to summer analysts. Are internships a huge part of the selection process or would my years of experience in WM give me an edge?

Internships are a huge part of the selection process and WM would not help you very much at all, and potentially even hurt you if you've shown no interest or ability in true finance roles.
Thanks. Pretty much my thoughts… but it’s like a catch 22: how can I show interest and experience in related roles when I can’t get related roles with my current experience. I’m assuming I will need to heavily network in my case
Yep.
