Which medical schools have the weighted GPA (wGPA) system of admissions in Canada?

Basically all schools in English Canada (except McMaster, NOSM, Memorial, and UofS IIRC). 

Western schools (UBC, Alberta schools) tend to have a simpler "drop a year" approach. Manitoba lets you drop individual courses (kinda like the UofT, but not as strict). 

Thank you very much for the informative comment. Thanks also for a really helpful comment in one of my other posts :)

So it's all schools in English speaking provinces in Canada except for the ones you have mentioned.

Continuing from that previous post, if I start my undergraduate in January 2020 or Spring at USask, do you know how I will be able to be applicable for the "drop a year approach" at OOP medical schools that have that system? As wGPA are counted from September (Fall) session. 

The reason why I want to start early is because I'm already a Non-Trad student by next Fall I will be a year older (mid 20s). So I'm just stressed and anxious when to start University, from January/May 2020 or September 2020. 

But my main goal is to work as hard as possible for USask medical school because my folks and relatives are Saskatooners so I want to live and study there. But only if I don't get accepted I'll try other provinces.
