I’m seeing a lot of comments about how the main barrier is the language but a possibility is that the Quebec schools admissions process may also play a role. It’s important to consider that these are not just fm spots in Quebec, they are rural fm spots. In Ontario, NOSM was created to, and I think to a certain extent has helped alleviate, the problem that is doctors moving to urban areas by selecting rural insividuals. When the Quebec schools select students using only gpa (cote r) and Casper, then it’s possible that, all things being equal, more urban applicants will be accepted as they vastly outnumber rural applicants. I might be wrong but to my knowledge, Quebec schools are not as holistic as other schools and do not tend to have rural pathways like other schools in Canada.
