Total: 8-9
how many years (college)?

Undergrad typically takes 4-5 years, for any type of degree. Not only if you are looking to go on to med school

how many years (bachelor) ?

You will get your bachelors degree from going to college....

how many years (doctorate) ?

If by doctorate, you mean med school, then 4 more years, followed by a residency of 3-7 more years depending on your specialty.

You are welcome to pursue a masters or even a PhD prior to med school, but 8 is the bare basics.

Does Canada have the same requirements as the U.S.?

After medical school in the U.S., there is a residency for the specialty that can run up to six years or more.
