Eligibility Exam Vs. Assessment of fundamental knowledge

Before 2011, for international dentists to work in Canada, they would have to take the EE “Eligibility Exam”. Then apply for a 2 years qualifying program in an accredited university in Canada.

The exam wasn’t only difficult, but passing the exam didn’t mean you’ll be granted a place in university. So it was extremely competitive, and only the pioneers made it to the end.

A NEW system for equivalency started 2011. In which it gives you the option to obtain your license without being enrolled in a university for 2 years. And the good thing is that throughout the equivalency exams, if you fail, you can always apply for a qualifying program.

No one has completed the process yet, since it only started this year. But let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.

NB. Assessment of fundamental knowledge which is the 1st exam in the new equivalency process, is almost the same as EE  “Eligibility Exam”. 

Please share your experiences.
