You would need to write the MCCQE and MCCEE among other exams AFAIK. As an IMG, your chances of landing any residency, nevermind a surgical residency, are extremely low in Canada.

Yup.

Keep in mind that about 30% of US residencies are filled by foreign grads every year, compared to a fairly small handful in Canada (well under 10%, I think). The US is far more accessible for foreign graduates. I think this is changing in Canada, slowly, but the fact is we just don't have a very high residency spot/graduate ratio.
