Is this an internship or full-time?

If it is a sophomore internship or something like that, the GS name is very valuable. However, trading analyst at the well-known Canadian bank is probably most promising as 1) you'd be in the U.S. and 2) you'd be in FO as a trading analyst.

The others sound like MO/BO roles and to be honest, I'm a bit wary when I see internships abroad esp. if you go to a U.S. school. Makes me think you couldn't land a good position in the U.S. so you went back to your home country.

 

Without a doubt the canadian bank. When you are working full time, pick the career you will be happiest with (ie the work you want to do). Sure a BB may be a nice and shiny appearance on your resume, but would you be willing to suffer 2 years doing MO work you don't want to do just so you could have the chance to transfer and have "Goldman Sachs" on your resume? If I were GS I'd rather hire away a star trader from BMO than take a gamble on a guy who does MO work.
