How Hard/Doable is it to break into Canadian IB coming from McGill Desautels undergrad?

Pretty much the title… 

I know Ivey/Queens are still king when it comes to placements in Canada, but how far back is Mcgill?

I’ll be mainly aiming for analyst positions north of the border, but is it possible to break into the NY IB scene straight out Desautels?
