Does somebody know this or whether they preffer the 4 year program over the 6 year program. Assuming that the B.S. degree was obtained or previous undergraduate experience in Canada or USA.
 
Not an issue whatsoever. Do med school at a somewhat reputable place (may help), but for sure, pass the MCCEE, pass med school, but some would argue to get really good reference letters ideally from American/Canadian doctors that you worked with clinically and not in an observership as your top thing to do (not your housecleaner, clergyman or mom 😛 ... but ironically, these have come up from IMGs in the past).
