The most recent data is from '05-'06, and can be found in table 9b of the AACOM statistical report at http://www.aacom.org/resources/bookstore/2006statrpt/Pages/default.aspx.

There's no "foreign" vs. "Canadian" breakdown.

Most "foreign"-friendly schools appear to be ATSU-Kirksville, CCOM, DMU-COM, KCUMB-COM, AZCOM and Western.

Well, I know UNECOM does, for sure.
But then we're practically in Canada anyways.

KCUMB and western never got back to me, don't know why. Others all considered canadians for sure.

It's definitely because you're Canadian. It had nothing to do with your scores, LORs, or Apps.

Seems like most schools have a very strict guidelines about residency.

I wouldn't say that. Western definitely takes (or at least interviews) Canadians.

I spoke with a student at NYCOM that was Canadian, although she'd also done her 4 year degree at NYCOM.

Yep, I know what you mean.
I'm not sure how he negotiated residency requirements, etc, but without a doubt, he's Canadian.

Whether it's probable or common, I don't know. But he's proven it's possible.

I know that DCOM does.. We have a Canadian in our class. 😀

I could be wrong, but I don't think Cale was being serious.

Thanks EEL08....I'm new here and need to learn the universal symbol for sarcasm.

My bad... I guess I need a better sarcasm-o-meter.
