How do Canadian schools compare in hiring ?

How do Canadian schools like Ivey, Smith, Schulich,Laurier, etc, compare to American schools when it comes to hiring in high finance in the US? Where would you rank them compared to the other American unis, because obviously they aren't on the level of Wharton but are they on the tier below that? How have the US placements been like for Canadian students in investment banking, private equity, sales and trading, etc?

Would refer to Peakframeworks on this topic, WSO doesn’t let me post links but its called: Canadian Investment Banking Target School List (Updated 2023)

Used it to determine my uni choice and worked out well. Honestly all depends on networking / your ability to connect w people. Uni choice gives you a foot in the door w alumni, other than that it’s up to your character and ability to talk up your experiences.
