Dear Lawrence,
Thanks for your query. Good to know that you wish to appear for MCAT exams. As per the MCAT eligibility criteria, the international students are required to fulfil the criteria similar to domestic candidates. One needs to hold an MBBS degree or currently pursuing an MBBS programme to be eligible to undergo the registration process of MCAT 2018 without seeking any special permission from the AAMC, the exam conducting body.
But in your case, you are in Canada with a PR status. I would suggest you write an email to the office mentioning the same.
Address- Association of American Medical Colleges
Medical College Admission Test
2450 N St., NW
Washington, DC 20037
Phone- 202-828-0690

Apart from the clause mentioned above, there is a special clause pertaining to MCAT eligibility; where candidates are allowed to appear against a 'special permission from AAMC. For that, you need to complete an undergraduate medical degree apart from MBBS programme. To know more about the MCAT eligibility criteria, click the link provided below-

Hope it helps!
