most of the Canadian fellowships work thru the American Match so your chances are about the same as in the US>

Fellowship spots are filled in a separate match from the US Match. You can find a little of the information here:

It may be difficult to land a Cards spot in Canada as the competition for internals is pretty high and usually saturates as such... I'm not too sure about endo as there are very few endo spots in general so it would depend on the year you are applying and how many potential applicants across the provinces there are.
