Why is a B.Sc required for admission into medical schoo

Why is a B.Sc required for admission into medical school?
I was just curious because I'm planning on going to India for medical school in order to bypass having to obtain a B.Sc in any field in general. My original plan was to get a Bachelors in Nursing and apply to medical school, but after some research I figured out that going to India is also a good option. However, I'm slightly confused, since I wanted to know why a B.Sc is required for entry into medical school. Is it because theres something thats taught in the four years of undergrad that is necessary while studying as a doctor? Because in India, anyone with marks high enough can apply immediately after highschool. Also, on a sidenote, is it wise to take this path, because I don't want to end up practicing in India, as I am planning on coming back to practice in Canada. And if I have to come back, what process do I have to go through in order to be able to practice medicine in Canada with a degree in India?

You can have any degree to get into medical school. Just do the prerequisites. It is hard to come back to canada to practice. only something like 10% is able to come back. A couple of my friends went to medical school in the carribeans and they are stuck practicing in usa.
