Applicants should be aware that enrolling in dubious, proprietary, for-profit medical schools opened specifically to cater to rejected applicants to medical schools in Canada or the USA is highly unlikely to be a path to practicing medicine in Canada.
International Medical Schools | Pre-med | Canadian Federation of Medical Students

This makes me wonder: Do Private School have same creditentials as State School? Also, How well received are foreign MDs who are 'returning home' to seek residency ?
