I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at RBC (Winnipeg, MB) in Jan 2015
Interview
There was only one interview, which took place at their offices. There was a mix of both personal questions related to my resume as well as more conceptual and technical questions related to different investment instruments and risk analysis. The interview was one-on-one and took approximately an hour to complete, during which time the process was explained. Ideally they said they prefer to hire internally as to allow applicants to have a better understanding of the RBC culture.
