So I am a Canadian planning to matriculate at a medical school in Ireland (UCC) this September and after I do my Step I next year I will apply for clinical electives at back in Canada (University of Toronto, McMaster, etc) for two to three weeks.

My question is would LORs from these experiences help for US NRMP if I am planning to apply for both US and Canadian residencies? Are Canadian LORs more valued for the US match than those offered in Europe/Ireland since they're LCME accredited?
