Will IM Programs accept IM Canadian LOR?

[Blitz2006]

Due to visa and scheduling issues, one of my away electives will be in Toronto for med oncology.

So when I apply to IM programs in the States, one of my IM LORs will be Canadian...is that alright? Or do American programs not give a crap about Canadian hospitals?

Everyone always says that IMGs need "USCE" and "American LORs", so am I just wasting my time then?

Thx,

Canadian schools are LCME approved and the U of T is well recognized.. Thus, for LORs, electives, etc. they are fine.
