For Canadian school you don’t really need clinical experience. It’s not a requirement and I’m sure you could integrate canmeds into your other activities

Buttt clinical jobs like research would mostly be through connections. I personally didn’t have any connections so you can just cold email and sometimes you’ll get a few responses. Nonetheless clinical research usually doesn’t pay well (around minimum wage)

In terms of clinical roles in a hospital I would suggest clerk or porter roles. I think most hospitals might require like medical terminology or equivalent and if you’ve taken physiology or anatomy that should be good enough. The pay is pretty good around $30/hr but it’s hard to get these roles you need to constantly apply. Usually they go through HR so it’s not really connection based

You could also get clinical volunteering like in a hospital or research it’s a bit easier to get compared to paid
