Do I need to Network?

Do I need to network to secure SA internships (2025) for OMERS/OTPP?

For context, I have a boutique IB internship and another pension fund internship in investments. For the pension fund internship I got, I did not network so was curious to see if it also applied to OMERS/OTPP, which are bigger names and may have more student interest.
