First of all - I'm sorry to hear about your issue. It's really unfortunate to have made it all this way and have a big hurdle near the end that you can't quite clear. Is there any way that you could have scrambled into a position?
Here are my 2 cents...
-Beef up your application. You have to do something significant enough to overshadow the rest of your application and show that you are capable of more. Whether it's a significant publication in a reputable journal or glowing LoR from a prominent figure in your field, you need to do something significant. Accomplishing either of these will not be easy, but you could possibly kill 2 birds with one stone. Whether it's someone you know or not, reach out to someone and (excitedly) ask for an opportunity to work on a project with intention to be first author while doing something else to support yourself (scribe, administrative role at hospital - this could be a niche experience that would demonstrate leadership, etc.) and eventually get a letter of rec. Many projects are difficult to finish and publish within one year so you would have to be very motivated and prove to yourself you deserve a residency position through hard work.
-Focus on hospital administration - use LinkedIn and attend medical career fairs to look for positions
-Contact a headhunter to help you get a job in either consulting or pharma (can do same with hospital admin). A headhunter's primary goal is to place you - it's up to you to make sure it's a good job for you and a right fit (they're not generally as concerned with your genuine happiness at the end of the day)

i think you posted in the wrong forum.
This is very province specific. So, for example, in Ontario you can via "Pathway 3": http://www.cpso.on.ca/policies-publ...ay-3-–-u-s-or-canadian-medical-degree-or-doct
You need to complete US training, pass the boards, and get a full license in the US. Then you need to be "assessed" after practicing a year in Ontario.
You can also complete a fellowship in the US, which will add enough years to qualify you directly.
If there's a province you're interested in, you should check with their medical board.
