1.  Yes you will have to your qualifications assessed and write
a.  Medical Council of Canada Evaluating Examination and if you pass
b.  Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination Parts I and II.
c.  Then you would have to find a residency position, very difficult for foreign trained physicians.

Do they ask this before final approval? seems like any one who doesnt want to appear in exams  to get a licence has no future !

No. But I believe before you can secure a job you must have passed the said exams else you will have to look for jobs in other fields.
