I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2016
Interview
First round was a webcam/skype type of interview, where they asked mainly behavioural questions. However, they did asked me a few technical questions (see below). For the second (and final) round, they flew me out to Toronto (I live in Montreal, internship was in Toronto). They paid for everything - hotel, plane ticket, cabs, etc. - and the hotel I stayed at was in the heart of the financial district, right across their tower. Very well treated as you can see. Second round was filled with tricky behavioural questions, and basic technicals.
