I have contacedt admissions departments to for a request of information and have sent emails to counsellors.

1. U OF A
2.U OF T

I did my undergraduate degree at UBC. If you want to go into medicine, the thing you need to consider to maximize your chances are which provinces you can claim to be a resident of. Being from BC and going to UBC meant I was only able to apply in the in-province applicant pool at UBC. Since you are from Alberta, consider going to another province.

I can say that UBC Science (if you're considering science) is difficult and quite competitive, meaning you will have a harder time getting good grades. That being said, UBC is a well-known and reputed school in the United States, and AMCAS (american application system) will adjust your grades upwards. However, you really have to do very well in order to have a shot at other schools in Canada where you can't claim residency.
