Applying from Brazil, it can be quite a chore to get through the paperwork. Which Canadian universities would likely have more open spots for foreign students?

McGill is pretty much the ONLY medical school in Canada where international applicants have a 'decent' shot. . . I believe they accept somewhere between 20 and 25 international students a year. Most of the other Canadian schools accept less than 5, if any.

Mac also has spots for up to 10 international students I believe. However, they will only fill them with people who pass the regular admissions process - in the last two years there has been less than a handful of international students accepted -- it is definitely worth applying though!
