You should be good - your academic advisor was incorrect, your credits do not need UBC equivalents. They just need to be credits from a university

Also you mentioned the number of 120; just a little reminder that that's no longer the magic cutoff needed for AGPA anymore. It is actually 90 credits - as long as you've got 91, you can get 1 credit deleted from your worst year (or if you have 94, then 4 credits; if you have 118, then 28 credits, etc.). Up to 30 total credits can get deleted (maximum)

This is not quite correct. The courses need to be university-transferable/university-level credits , meaning that UBC would recognize the course as a university-level course, even if it doesn’t directly transfer as a specific UBC course. 

If your courses are taken at a university and can be counted towards a bachelors degree you are probably fine. However, there are a few schools/programs in BC where you can take courses towards a degree that are not university level - for example; there are some programs where you can do a diploma, then transfer that credit towards the first part of a degree. Often times those diploma courses won’t count. 

OP - if you have any doubt about your courses, you should contact UBC Med admin directly and ask them. You may also be able to use the BC transfer guide - if your courses transfer at all, even as generic levels, e.g. “100-level” or “200-level” then that means they should be good.
