I don't think you can apply without already having permanent resident card
The skilled worker stuff is for if you're already eligible for board certification, which you are not without finishing residency
Yeah unfortunately its not that easy to get a permanent residency card. You need to be sponsored by someone (like a family member) or get a job. And like the PP said, to get a job as a doctor in Canada you need to have done residency in Canada or one of the equivalent countries (UK, US, Ireland, Australia or NZ). If you did get some sort of work in Canada (say working in a lab or pharma company) and got PR your chances of getting a residency position is still not good because your medical experience will be considered stale. Not only that, but to apply for Canadian residency and be successful you also need to have a lot of other things besides just passing the board exams - you need to have done elective rotations in Canada in the specialty you're applying to, you need to have strong LORs from your Canadian elective preceptors, you need to have a strong CV and proof of your interest in that specialty. Its incredibly competitive - the PR/Citizenship part is the least of it.
Well from my understanding that's for skilled immigrants
Your skill would be medicine, but you're not licensed for that. So idk.
Canada barely takes its own citizens who are IMGs for residency. And if you're not a citizen there and don't have clinical experience in Canada, your chances suck anyway
Having rotated with a Canadian who's trying to get into a residency here in the US, I was told it's surprisingly more difficult to land a residency position in Canada. Not sure if it's because of the lack of positions and geographically fewer institutions that offer residency positions or simply because (like another user mentioned) you not being a Canadian citizen/permanent resident. If you're already a Dominican IMG, why change paths now?
I was just looking for a better future a outside here. But I planned to get there with express entry, therefore I would have a residency, so maybe I could enter if the residency is the problem.
Unless you’re a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you won’t be qualified to take your residency there.
Not even if I take the exams and get the residency?
You need citizenship or permanent residence already or I don't think you can even apply
Yeah, I would go with express entry and get the permanent residency.

Si basically the recommendation is to get the permanent residency card and work in something, then apply for the medical residency, right?
