Let's say you sponsor him and he can't get a residency or it takes him a long time to find a spot - a very likely scenario. Just find a willing student already in a Canadian medical school. They might be getting this guy for cheap, but there's still a lot of risk involved. Seems like a not-so-hot idea.

That might be a bit more difficult, considering how many IMGs apply for those positions. Why not sponsor a University of Manitoba student?

Hungarian med schools cost $20000 in tuition for all 6 years.<br/><br/>It's a win-win.
