What about studying and working in Canada for dentistry?

It is possible to study and work in Canada as an international student in dentistry, but the process is competitive and involves several steps.

- Education: Most Canadian dental schools require at least 2-4 years of prior university study in subjects like chemistry, biology, and physiology. Requirements vary by institution.
- Study permit: You'll need a study permit, which requires an acceptance letter from a designated learning institution, proof of funds, and other standard documents.
- Work during studies: With a valid study permit, you can typically work up to 20 hours/week during semesters and full-time during breaks.
- Post-graduation: After your dental program, you may be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) for up to 3 years, depending on your program length.
- Licensing: To practice as a dentist, you must pass the National Dental Examining Board (NDEB) exams and meet provincial licensing requirements.

All policies and eligibility criteria are subject to change.
