foreign qualified dentist working as dental assistant in canada

[maheen saleem]

I am a dentist, I have done my BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) from a university in Pakistan. It is a four-year degree program along with one year of clinical experience under supervision.
I want to work as a dental assistant in Canada. Can i get any help regarding the pathway I need to take to work as one and if there are any exemptions for foreign qualified dentists?

Do you have PR? If not look at Express Entry and start the process. Once in Canada, you can look into certification. There would be no exemptions.

So look at certification process in the province you will or are living in.

It looks like the NDAEB is a common exam for dental assistants licensure.
