Is transferring to Western Ivey HBA worth it? Canadian, for 3rd year Investment Banking Recruiting

So I’m a riding sophomore with internships in wealth management and VC, with a keen interest in IB.

With how accelerated Canadian recruiting is, with most processes closing in the summer, and given the fact Ivey offers are sent out early-mid July, is transferring to Ivey really worth it?
