Does NDEB Certification automatically give me a license to practise in Canada?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>
No, you must apply for a license with the Dental Regulatory Authorities (DRAs) in the province where you want to practice. The DRA may require additional documentation, jurisprudence tests, and evidence of language proficiency prior to licensure.<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” row_negative_margin=”disable_negative_margin” z_index=”” el_class=”container-1180″ css=”.vc_custom_1613749745687{padding-bottom: 120px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1612784620361{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: rgba(70,121,123,0.05) !important;*background-color: rgb(70,121,123) !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1619644894063{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
