You need to be at least a Canadian resident, they don't sponsor visa. getting a residency other than Family Practice as a foreign-trained physician is extremely hard in Canada.

No.
In the US you are just like any other IMG. If you did your medical school in Canada that is a different story but if you are just a canadian who did his/her med school abroad, no advantage.
