I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Montreal, QC) in Oct 2011
Interview
The position is applied through MS's website. As well as my school's job portal. It was a short notice before the 1st round interview (1day ahead). About a week and a half after, they notice the 2nd round interview. You have about 1 week and a half to prepare before the on site interview.
MS are pretty good on traveling cost. They do pay for everything( flight, hotel etc...)

2 rounds of interview one with the lead and other with the VP. it focuses more on your skills and experience in your current role where in you are asked regarding logical situations.
