You need to immigrate first and be selected based on your age, education, work experience and language skills. For work experience, you have to have employment letters to show you are working in the NOC. If you are a dentist now, then you do not use that NOC for Express Entry. Once in Canada, you can work as a dental assistant once licensed.

Thanks Natirgrl...yes that is correct. You need to have a PR and then you can apply to our DA programs. If you need further information, please check out our website: https://sodentalcollege.com/academics/dental-assisting/
