As far as I know, you have to contact the schools directly. Some will accept visiting students. Some won't, and those that do will do it subject to availibility. You can only do 12 weeks per year in Canada if you're not a Canadian student.

To apply, you have to fill out a bunch of applications, and the timelines vary, so you have to check with each school. Do a Google Search with the school name and "international visiting student" or something like, and you'll start to figure stuff out. Oh, and it helps to have contacts when trying to arrange this sort of thing.

It's residencies that are next to impossible to get.
