Canadian Bankers Association (CBA) provides domestic and foreign-chartered banks of Canada with information, research, advocacy, and operational support services.
CBA conducts annual survey on small business financing to ensure that the lending policies at each financial institution are not biased against gender, ethnical back ground, type of business, geographic location, etc. The survey evaluates every bank's performance.
You may obtain some information from CBA about that topic. They have a library service too. I guess you are running out of time.
Personally, I tried to obtain small business financing from banks. My impression: CIBC is one of the worst. The conditions they set are impossible for small business to match and it is comparitively more costly to borrow money from CIBC than somewhere else. I hope to see some improvement through your effort if you work there.
