well, to get some benifits you must apply to college after getting your PR otherwise you will be considered as International student

you don't need to provide anything to your new delhi visa office right now.
later you will be requested to submit your medical exam report and your passport to your visa office.

Thanks Dr. Hasib for the reply, the email states:

Based on a review of the information you have provided, your application has received a positive final determination of eligibility for processing on the basis of work experience in an occupation specified in the Instructions issued by the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism and published in the Canada Gazette on June 25, 2011.  
  
Your application will be forwarded to a visa office for further processing.

So, do I need to provide anything after PER and how to determine visa office (Indian citizen residing in India), could you please shed some light.

Thanks in advance.

According to Ontario immigration website:

"In Ontario, dental hygiene is considered a separate and distinct health profession from dentistry. If you are a dentist and are interested in dental hygiene as an alternative, please contact an educational institute which offers an approved program in dental hygiene. There is a listing of approved institutions at the end of this document".
http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/working/OI_HOW_WORK_DENTHYG_CM.html

So, if overseas dentists want to become Dental hygienst in canada, they have to take dental hygiene diploma before getting their licence as Dental hygienst.
I already applied online for George brown college's Dental hygiene diploma.  Hi Dr. Hasib, How did you apply on George Brown College? What requirements did you submit? I am planning to enrol Dental Hygiene course as well, i am planning to land in Toronto and I am already starting to look for possible schools? How much is the tuition fee? Thanks!!!!

[Dr.Hasib]

toothfairy,
nice to see another dentist having same career plan like mine 
George brown college is the best and one & only govt college in Toronto that offers 3 years Dental hygiene diploma.
There are other private colleges that offers 18-20 months Dental hygiene diploma but almost everyone adviced me to go for george brown due to it's higher standard. most of the employers give priority to george brown's graduate.
tution fee is high, approximately 39000 CAD(materials, instrument, books etc included) in total, however, you can manage loan from OSAP. OSAP loan is only for George brown's students (and for 1 or 2 private colleges' students taking dental hygiene diploma).
So, yes if you are looking for Dental hygiene then go for George brown.

How to apply:

check the link of George brown's dental hygiene program:

you must submit your application to CIO located at Sydney, NS, canada, otherwise your application will be returned to you.
if your visa office is Manilla then CIO will forward your application to manila VO at later stage.
use express courier service like Fedex, TNT, DHL so that your app will reach canada within 4-5 days
