Hi,

To do medicine in Canada, you need to be a undergraduate degree holder in any subject of your choice along with the pre medicine track which is a mandatory criteria for applying to medical schools. Once you are done with that, then you can give MCAT exam and can further apply for Canadian medical schools to complete MD degree course before going for residency program.

I hope this helps.

All the best.
