Im a US med student and it is similar here but I heard it is even harder in Canada. They have a set number of residency spots available for international students. So you are competing with people from all over the world. That is why it is so difficult. The exams are hard and the system is designed to keep people out... only the best are allowed in. Now some good news is that the language barrier holds a lot of people back. So if you are fluent in English than you have a step up on many people. So yes it is possible but it is hard because there are so many people and so few spots.
