I applied at HSBC Toronto last December 21 and got an e-mail six days after asking me to complete a behavioural test. After two hours I got a phone call interview with the HR. Two weeks after I was invited by the assistant branch manager for a face to face interview. After four days, I was invited for a final interview with the branch manager. The interviewers were all friendly and basically asked the same questions except for the manager who focused on asking my previous jobs.
