I am a US resident applying to some Canadian medical schools, and I was wondering about the differences between US and Canadian programs, more specifically issues relating to financial aid, board exams, and residency programs. As a US citizen, could I get financial aid to go to a Canadian medical school? Are the respective licensing organizations and board exams --- US (USMLE) and Canada (LMCC) --- considered equal, or would I have to choose one or the other? I heard it is difficult to get Canadian residencies?
Basically, I am hoping to gain some insights into the process (American going to medical school in Canada) from people who have done it.
