Pretty sure that you are not an international student if you are a U.S. citizen.

I only have my green card but I'm confused why they recommend me take US courses for a year.

Interesting, most schools that have that kind of requirement will say that the post-secondary school work can be completed in the US or in Canada.

Studying in Canada because it's cheaper. The school I want to apply to and have the best shot is the state med school, where my family resides.

I just looked at their updated requirements: (Permanent residents are encouraged to have at least one year of full-time course work at a college or university in the United States.)

Does this weaken my application or have to get even a higher GPA/MCAT to be considered competitive? Am I basically treated as an international student now?

I wouldn't worry about it as a permanent resident who went to school in Canada. Canada and the US are close enough that I doubt anyone really differentiates between the two.
