The interview process has been streamlined from previous, it starts off as a presentation with about 200 other job seekers, you are then given a aptitude test if I may call it, then a one on one interview, passing the test determines if you move on to the one on one.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at CN (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2022
Interview
I applied online through their website. Received invitation to information session and interview 2 days later. It was through zoom and lasted around 30 minutes. They asked me questions about my experience and gave me a chance to ask them some questions too. I heard back with an offer to move to the next stage 4 days after my interview. All in all the application process was shorter than 2 weeks.
