I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Lethbridge, AB) in Apr 2015
Interview
They sent me an email for virtual interview after one month since I applied. There were pre-recorded questions and I had 30 seconds to think about the question and had 5 minutes to answer the question. There 10 questions and they were all super easy. After a month I got a rejection letter from them. Overall it was a good experience. I guess the interview was something new cuz I have not heard anybody had similar interview.
