I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Mississauga, ON) in Oct 2011
Interview
The department manager and a co-op student interviewed for the position (which was via the University job board). The interview was 30 minutes long, and consisted of only a general set of questions. The questions were very clear-cut (nothing too weird, to "test out personality and quick thinking" sort).

Question 1
The interview was not completely structured, so the train of the conversation went towards Excel and Access and the assignments I worked on regarding those.
Applied through school's co-op program and received an interview within a couple of weeks. The interview was a one on one with the supervisor and the interview questions were very basic discussing about my interests and qualifications.
