Yes, you will need a J-1 or H visa. You cannot apply for the TN visa.
if I pass the usmle, can I apply for a residency position in Canada hospital?
You would have to check the requirements for obtaining post graduate training in Canada - I believe that it is hard for non-Canadien grads to obtain.

Unfortunately, I can answer you on your question.
Unfortunately, because the answer is no
I'm holding ECFMG certificate,and last year(-2003), I went to visit my relatives in Canada,and to participate in Scramble.
During that period I asked several Canadian medical institutions (Royal College of Physicians and Surgeonc,etc.),hospitals,about ECFMG certificate,USMLE-s,and the answer was identical-negative.
Canada has her own licensing exam,and if you are a foreign physician(it's little easier if you are English or USA citizen, if I remember), you have to pass it if you want to practice in Canada.
Though you have Canadian green card....it would be smart to write to authorities,and present your case individuallly...
Hope I helped...
