Extremely Difficult since you may not have the Canadian Elective and experience.
It will take around 2-5 years for you to network

Advice:

1) Do extremely well on the NAC-OSCE over 85
2) Do Extremely well on the MCCQE1 and 2
3) Get Canadian Letters of Recommendation in the field you want by finding either research or volunteer work
4) Consider other options since your chances to matching to these fields is close to 1%, and those IMG who do match to these fields are Canadians who studied abroad with 12 weeks of electives and stellar scores on the Canadian exams and at least 2 LORs from Canadian Faculty. But even they apply for a couple of back specialty up since is extremely hard or near impossible.

Consider long plan and short plan.
