J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Canada Post (Toronto, ON) en mai 2017
Entretien
The process was pretty straight forward. Applied online - received invitation to do online testing, received invite for in person interview. Met with one person. The questions were your standard behavioural questions. I was told right away that I passed the interview and had to go in for a physical assessment the next day. They wanted me in the next day so they could move my file along quickly to be a part of the relief team. I finished my assessment. 2 weeks later I received an e-mail from HR that they had filled their number of relief positions and would keep my file on record for 6 months. To sum it up - even if you're told you passed the interview and asked to complete the assessment (which you pass), they may still come back and say their pool is filled.

Basic Questions, particularly focused on health and safety best practices. Physical testing should not be taken lightly. Otherwise simple process. First interview is with a recruiting 3rd party. Second is with a CP manager.

Entretien
Little to my knowledge, I was interviewing with a fill in manager who has never conducted interviews before (was a letter carrier but was acting manager due to an injury).
I was told I would get full-time hours right away for the summer (she knew I was a student going back to school) but to my surprise, after the training period was done, I found out it was an on-call relief position. I was told it was a full-time position but would only receive calls to go to work on the absolute hottest days of the season.
I wouldn't have minded that but I left a guaranteed full-time summer position that I had already secured for Canada Post due to what was promised by the "manager". I also informed this manager that I had a full-time position for the summer already secured and I was only interviewing to see if it would be worth it and of course she promised I wouldn't regret getting in with Canada Post. (LOL)
Lost over ten-thousand dollars of potential earnings before going back to school because of this, which was a real kick in the teeth as a struggling student.
I'm sure this is a one off experience that not many would have to deal with but this specific branch was an absolute sheet show.
The entire training process was annoying as everyone seemed to be in on trying to convince the trainees how amazing it is to work there all while being completely miserable themselves, tied up with more than enough workplace drama between the union workers and corporate managers.
