There might be one selection pool but foreign graduates would never be considered above American graduates even if they pass with 100% marks. I think in USA there is a shortage of doctors and they would always need foreign graduates to fulfill this shortage. USA's population is way higher than Canada's. So usa would always need doctors. Its tough to get residencies in both countries. The only difference is that USA has alot more left over spots...and don't forget that foreign graduates only compete with other foreign students 4 whatever seats are left after all the american graduates accept their residencies.
