I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in June 2014
Interview
Perhaps answered an online personality questionnaire first. It was to select a description that fits your personality. Answer with honesty. Then, contacted by a HR staff via Phone. Once passed, you'll be asked for an interview with a team leader at the office. Detailed instruction will be provided via email.

The CIBC Customer Service Representative (CSR) interview process generally takes an average of 16 to 20 days and involves multiple stages designed to assess your customer service aptitude, sales potential, and cultural fit.
Was smooth and warm. Nothing to add. Was more intro than grilling. From the beginning it was obvious that we clicked and interview was more conversational. Some tmat questions, some customer scenarios and checking loyalty issues.
