How can I get a IB internship in Canada?

I am in a top 4 university, but it’s non-target for finance. My GPA is around 3.8-4.0, and got in a selective finance club as a 1st year. I will also do an internship this summer.

What do I need to do to get a BMO/RBC etc. IB internship next summer?

It’s non target but they still post internship ads on our school website by the way. So it’s not like they won’t hire from here, it’s just hard.

Its all about networking. Highly recommend getting a head start and reaching out to alumni first. Typically makes for easier connections. 

 

Ex RBC/UofT here. Network your way into an interview is the only way. Or get lucky, sometimes some kids randomly get call to an interview without any networking. To be safe, network and ask them to push for your resume. Its not that hard to get interview with Canadian banks.
