Being a Canadian IMG is like being another IMG ...the only difference is that you will not need a visa for the interviews ..and that being a canadian ,you can get the J1 visa at the border crossing... so It is a +, and something that you should emphasize when interviewing with the program directors because they are all scared about the Visa issue.
Good luck..
If you have any other question , please post them here.

If you think about staying in the US , you can go for H1... For the J1 too, you can have a waiver and stay.
It is possible to come back to canada to work afterward, I know people who have done it even without being Canadian citizens.
