Studying in CANADA! Is it recommended for American college student to study in Canada ?
Also, will a canadian degree be valid in the USA when you are looking for a job? I want to attend an accredited school abroad and Canada fits my needs and then apply for a medical school in the USA, is it possible? Please help! Thanks.

Yes, it is entirely possible. Canadian schools, though not well-known in the U.S. are certainly valid as they meet any standards you will need. Medical schools in the U.S. would certainly accept a degree from a Canadian school. You would still need to write the MCAT and have good marks but it shouldn't be a hurdle to study in Canada. As an FYI, Canadian medical schools are quite good as well, and generally as a whole rank higher than those in the U.S. because SOME of the American schools are sub-standard, whereas the relatively few in number in Canada are all held to high standards. This is a major reason why American hospitals try to recruit Canadian-trained doctors - the know they will be up to standards. Furthermore, education is subsidized in Canada and, while Canadians clearly get the majority of the benefits, international students would still pay a tuition at medical schools that is FAR below those of American schools (Univeristy of Toronto medical school, which is the largest in North America, has a tuition for Canadians of less than $20,000 per year. Although it may be more for an international student, it would not be anywhere near the $50,000 tuition seen at some American schools). Your undergrad will be cheaper as well. Hope this helps
