No, you must be a Canadian citizen.

how about University of Toronto Medical School ??

The U of T will accept up to seven international (including American) students annually.

It is very important to recognize that medical school is very, very competitive in Canada; it would be far, far easier to get admission to the vast majority of US schools.

Not all Canadian medical school accept international applicants, you would need to check the websites of those schools of interest. For those who do accept, the tuition would be over $100,000/yr. Also, it is highly competitive. Your undegrad grades would need to be vetted by WES.
