I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HomeSense (Coquitlam, BC) in Jan 2016
Interview
I filled out an application in store, had an informal on-the-spot interview, then was taken to an office to have a longer/formal interview with the manager, even though she was from a different store, and I never saw her again. That day they called my references, and offered me the job the next day. All in all, it was a very quick hiring process, but I did not have orientation for a few days, and then did not start working until about a week or more after that.
Interview is generally easy. Questions are common such as the ones you see online. Managers were kind. Out of all the interviews I've had, definitely among the easiest. Do not stress!
