Canadian Target Schools

Lol I’m at a Canadian IB, so if anything, Canadians took me over one of theirs

Ivey is a target school for Evercore, Silver Lake, Qatalyst, Ares, CS SF, Leonard Green Partners, GS NY/SF, HL LA, all Canadian banks, all Canada based US banks, Moelis LA, and a handful of others. But keep in mind that with the visa changes, a lot of these firms have scaled back the velocity of hiring at Ivey

You have no idea what you’re talking about. No one here gives a shit what school you went to. Just have a good GPA + relevant experience + strong network and you’ll be fine. Yes, Ivey and Queens helps with the latter, but most people will give you the time of day as long as you approach them respectfully

I completely agree with you when it comes to recruiting for Toronto BB and EB, as well as firms like Greenhill, Evercore, and Lazard.

However, it's not as Ivey/Queens dominated in the B5 and Pension funds as it used to be tbh. 

Not really. These typical Canadian targets are more so for your BBs and EBs in Toronto, plus some PE firms like Altas. BBs and Pension Funds aren't that hung over Ivey and Queens kids. 

Laurier BBA and UW SAF are more or less turning into targets too. Placements have reached very very high levels on Bay Street, especially because they're like the only ones that do off-cycle coops.
