I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart (Edmonton, AB) in Jun 2014
Interview
I applied online to the Walmart Canada Hiring website, that process took about an hour. The next day I went into the local branch (where the position was posted) and gave my resume to the store manager. He called me that afternoon (4 hours later) to set up an interview for the following week. The interview was 1hr and 30min between myself and the store manager and took place in the hiring manager's office. I followed up with the store manager by e-mail and then was asked to do a phone interview with a talent specialist at the Canadian head office one week following my in-person interview. Three days following the phone interview and a few e-mail's in between I received an official offer of employment. I was called then sent the offer by e-mail. It was a quick and positive hiring experience.

Interview
If selected, you will receive a phone call from the Personnel manager to come in for an interview. When interviewing, you sit with two hourly associates that ask a series of questions having to do with the retail work environment. If you get passed through that interview, you follow up with an interview with the salaried manager who asks very similar questions to the preliminary ones. If selected through that interview, you get sent for a drug test either that day or following days and a background check.
