Don't be confused. Here is what u have to do.
J1 states u have to leave US for 2 years. If you have canadian immigration, you can go back to Canada even after processing J1 from any other country you are citizen of. Unfortunately you cannot work in Canada anyway. Check www.mcc.ca You are probably aware of conditions in Canada.
If you wish to process J1 from Canada only you need to do MCCEE. Otherwise you can process it from any other country and decide to go back to live in Canada as that is where you residency is. GL and pray for me.

u can try to get a residency in canada, but u have to clear EE, qe1 and OSCE. And u also need to have some canadian experience. After all these you can try. But everyyear 1500/2000 IMG s r applying for residency and only 30/40 people r getting it. So. I will say it will be really hard. I don't want to dissapointed u but I know this condition because I also cleared everything in USA and trying for CANADA after completing all exam here but nothing is working.
