CGI HR manager contacted me via email and set a technical code interview via skype.
The interview is easy if you know the java basics and database access.
The technical code test is pretty straight forward even for a junior java developer.
You will be given access to a remote machine via web and you have about an hour to do the test, it took me exactly 45 mins ( you are free to use google)

Spoke with a recruiter at a career fair and handed over my résumé. Recruiter contacted me two weeks later and provided instructions for applying for a specific position we discussed at the fair. Contacted a week later asking to come in for an interview. Interviewed with three different people, 30 minutes each. Remained in the same room, and the interviewers made their rounds.
