Interviewed Mar 2012 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 2 months)
Applied online for graduate program. 2 weeks later I received call to setup a phone interview. Phone interview took place about 1 week later consisting of a quick review of my resume and some general behavioral type questions. I was then flown out to Calgary for an in person interview (airfare, taxi, hotel, and food are all paid for). In person interview was roughly 1 hour long. The manager asked many behavior related questions based on past work experience. Two weeks later I received an email stating that I had not been selected.
The positions seem to be incredibly competitive. If you make it to the in person interview, then you likely have the right skills and are qualified for the position. They are primarily interested in finding out if you are the right "fit" for the company and that specific role. Overall it was a good experience.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Mississauga, ON (Canada) (took a day)
I was slotted an interview by my career services after applying online. The interview was 30-45 min. Two people, one HR and one from their engineering department. Mostly behavioural questions. The whole interview consisted of those questions that they ask every one. Basic background stuff, nothing technical.

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took 3 weeks)
The initial interview was very structured and was held on campus. The interviewer asked me to walk through my resume. She asked me to talk about previous leadership experience. She asked me about my extra-curricular experiences at University. She also asked me why I was interested in applying to the program. The second interview was with a panel of people - one of which was a part of the program. The general perception I had was that people were friendly, and the work culture was generally positive.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Fort McMurray, AB (Canada) (took 4 weeks)
They call you about 1 week after you submit your application to set up a phone interview for 1-2 weeks later. The phone interview is about 45 minutes long, goes pretty in-depth into the position and responsibilities as well as answering some standard questions about your career goals and what you know about oil sands etc. Then they fly you to Fort McMurray (all expenses paid) for a panel interview, shorter, but more focused on behavioural questions and face-to-face interaction.
