    ACCESS TO THE DENTAL PROFESSION IN ONTARIO

    TheRoyal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario(College) regulates the dentistry profession in the province of

    Ontario, which passed the first Dental Act in the world into law on March 4, 1868. The College is responsible for:

    setting the education and other qualifications necessary to enter the profession

    setting standards of professional practice for the dental profession

    setting ethical standards

    investigating complaints for people who feel that the standards have not been met

    taking appropriate disciplinary action as necessary

    protecting the publics right to quality dental services, and

    providing leadership to the profession in self-regulation.

    The rules concerning the licensing of dentists in Ontario are set out in provincial legislation the Regulated

    Health Professions Act and the Dentistry Act, 1991 and the regulations made under these acts.

    By law, no one is allowed to practise as a dentist in Ontario without a licence issued by the College known as a

    Certificate of Registration. There are different classes of certificate depending on your situation, for example,

    whether you are a student, a visiting intern or a professor. Most applicants seek a General Certificate which

    grants the full, unrestricted right to deliver dental services to the public of Ontario.

    This Career Map focuses on obtaining a General Certificate of Registration. For other classes of certificate, please

    visit the Colleges website atwww.rcdso.org.

    There are over 9,000 dentists in Ontario. Dentists perform some of all of the following duties:

    examine patients teeth, gums and surrounding tissue to diagnose disease, injury and decay and plan

    appropriate treatment

    restore and extract diseased and decayed teeth

    perform oral surgery, periodontal surgery and other treatments

    clean teeth and instruct patients on oral hygiene

    design bridgework, fit dentures and provide appliances to correct abnormal positioning of the teeth and

    jaws, or write fabrication instructions or prescriptions for use by denturists and dental technicians

    supervise dental hygienists, dental assistants and other staff.

    Dentists offices tend to be open four to six days a week. Many dentists practise on their own but they make work

    in partnerships and associateships. Dentists also work in hospitals, as administrators, researchers and teachers,

    and for the military.

    Registration Requirements

    Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland operate according to a mutually recognized

    system of accreditation of dental training. Accordingly, graduates of Canadian, American, Australian (Australian

    candidates must have graduated on or after March 31, 2010), New Zealander (New Zealand candidates must

    have graduated on or after December 14, 2011) or Irish (Irish candidates must have graduated on or after

    December 5, 2012) are eligible to apply directly to sit the national examination administered by the National

    Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB). If your dental training was outside of these jurisdictions then you are

    considered to be internationally trained. To practise as a dentist in Ontario, you must therefore

    successfully complete a full-time, two-year qualifying program or the NDEB Equivalency Process. For

    the internationally trained these two paths are the only means by which you can become eligible to take the

    NDEB national examination a requirement for all candidates. We suggest you visit the College website at -

    http://www.rcdso.org/BecomeADentistInOntario/InformationforInternationallyEducatedTrained . Review the

    section labeled Assessing Training Completed Outside of Canada. It offers additional insight and information on

    immigrating, differences in global dental training, explanations on our national examinations and assessmentsand more.

    The qualifying programs are known by several names, including:

    degree completion or advanced standing programs,

    Internationally Trained Dentists Program, or

    International Dentist Advanced Placement program.

    Many universities in Canada and the United States offer these programs. The NDEB conducts the assessments

    that helps determine (in Canada) who requires the Qualifying Programs and who is eligible to proceed through

    the Equivalency Process. If it is determined that you require a Qualifying Program then your next step is to applyto the University of your choice and pass that Universitys admissions tests. Admissions tests vary from

    University to University. Some use different parts of the NDEB assessments. They may also do their own

    assessment of your academic and dental knowledge as well as testing your language proficiency in English or

    French.

    In Ontario, Qualifying Programs are offered at:

    University of Toronto University of Western Ontario

    Faculty of Dentistry Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry

    For a list of American schools with qualifying or advanced standing programs, visit the American Dental

    Association website atwww.ada.org.

    You can obtain details about the NDEB Equivalency Process through the NDEBs website, www.ndeb.ca.Or call 613-236-5912, [email protected], or send mail to the NDEB at 80 Elgin Street, 2nd Floor, Ottawa,

    The Equivalency Process provides an alternate route to certification as a dentist in Canada for graduates

    of non-accredited dental programs. This process is also integrated with the admission process for the Qualifying

    and Degree Completion Programs. The Equivalency Process comprises three Assessments. Successful completion

    of the Assessments allows you to participate in the NDEB Written and OSCE Examinations. Canadian Faculties of

    Dentistry also use your results on select Assessments in the admission process for Qualifying and Degree

    Completion Programs. The diagram below illustrates these two integrated pathways to certification as a dentist

    in Canada.

    outlined above. Reference letters or photocopies of a licence will not be accepted in place of this

    official notice.

    If you are still practising in the respective jurisdiction at the time you submit your application for registration in

    Ontario, please note: this information/form must be current and is therefore only valid for three (3) months.

    Requirements are subject to change. Please contact the College directly for the most up-to-date

    information or if you have any questions. The entire Registration Regulation can be found on the

    Colleges website.

    Application Process & Timelines

    Standard processing time for a complete application (including all requested documentation/fees) is three to

    five weeks but may be longer depending on the time of year the application is received (e.g.,

    May/June/December). However, we are not responsible for any delay attributed to outside organizations such

    as other regulatory bodies, schools or Canada Immigration. You must not book patients until your

    registration has been confirmed by the College. It is recommended that you apply with ample time for

    processing prior to your expected start date. Please note that your application is only valid for 3 months after

    being signed and witnessed.

    The Registrar of the College must refer your application to the Registration Committee if he or she:

    has doubts on reasonable grounds about whether you fulfill the registration requirements;

    is of the opinion that terms, conditions or limitations should be imposed on the certificate and you do

    not consent to that;

    proposes to refuse your application.

    If the Registrar has to refer an application to the Registration Committee, the delay time for the application to be

    reviewed by the Committee depends on when the application was received by the College. The Committee meets

    approximately every two to three months. Please note: the Regulated Health Professions Act stipulates that you

    must be given 30 days to make submissions to the Committee.

    If the Committee makes a decision on the day of the meeting, it will communicate its decision to the applicant

    within 1 week or less. However, the Committee may also determine that it requires further information before

    making a decision. The time required to obtain such additional information varies from case to case and with

    what has been requested. For example, additional information can entail writing to a foreign jurisdiction, waiting

    for a disciplinary hearing to conclude in another jurisdiction, obtaining an expert opinion, or arranging for ahealth assessment and report or for a clinical assessment, if competency is in question.

    The Committee communicates its decision to you, the applicant, in writing. To learn more about how to appeal a

    Committee decision, you can review the information provided by the Health Professions Appeal and Review

    Board atwww.hparb.on.ca/english/about.htm.

    Before You Arrive in Canada

    Step 1 - The first thing you must do is contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to determine whether

    you are eligible for migration to Canada. There is specific criteria for obtaining immigration status in Canada that

    is beyond the control of any regulatory body. Only CIC has the authority to determine what professions are inneed at any given time.

    Step 2 - As mentioned above under Registration Requirements, internationally trained candidates must complete

    a qualifying program or the NDEB Equivalency Process. We strongly advise you take advantage of the

    information and material available on the NDEB website - www.ndeb.ca to try and assess your ability to meet

    the requirement. The site includes a self-assessment tool, links to review courses that may be available, insight

    and preparation into the Equivalency Process, reference texts, information on exam contents and sample

    questions, and much more. If you are eligible for the Equivalency Process then depending on your personal

    circumstances and financial situation you may be able to fly to Canada, take the applicable assessment and fly

    home. This would allow you to maintain a practice and source of income while attempting to meet the

    qualification assessments. If it proves necessary for you to attend one of the two-year advanced standingprograms then obviously those are full-time, classroom situations where you will have to be in Canada, the

    United States, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland.

    If you are at a point where migrating is a certainty, then you need to obtain a completed Certificate of Standing,

    as listed above, or letter of standing from everywhere youve practiced in the world. If you are reviewing this

    information from outside of Canada, we recommend you have our Certificate of Standing form, or your countrys

    equivalent, completed by the appropriate governing authority in your country of origin before immigrating

    to Canada.

    Once you, the applicant, have met all the requirements, you may apply for registration from any location. Refer to

    the section on providing certified documents for a list of what you will need. All applications are treated in thesame manner and must meet the requirements specified in this document.

    If you are not fluent in English or French, it is a good idea to improve your English or French by taking language

    courses before arriving in Canada and to take a recognized language test such as TOEFL or IELTS. (see Language

    Proficiency Assessmentbelow)

    When You Arrive in Ontario

    Given the nature of the requirements (e.g., assessment or two-year program), you will probably have already

    arrived in Ontario or another province of Canada. To begin your application to the College, follow these

    five steps.

    Step 1 Pass NDEB Examinations

    As mentioned above, you must complete the National Dental Examining Board of Canadas examination before

    you apply to the College. To qualify for this examination you must have successfully completed an approved two-

    year advanced standing program or the NDEB Equivalency Process. The NDEB lists on its website recommended

    readings (see References) plus every examination question it has ever used (see Written Examination).

    Step 2 Complete the application form

    You must submit a completed, signed and notarized College Application Form which will then be valid for three

    months. If you have not completed the registration process within that time, then you will be required to

    complete a new application form. The form is available on the College website.

    Step 3 Provide certified documents

    The College requires a combination of original and certified documentation depending on the nature of the

    document. By legal definition, a certified copyis a copy of a document issued by a court, a government or a

    lawyer or notary public.

    These are the steps to obtaining a certified document:

    i) You take the original document to the legal authority.

    ii) The legal authority will take a photocopy.

    either provide a covering affidavit or write on the document directly that the copy is a true, exact and

    unaltered copy of the original document.

    sign, stamp and date the photocopy.

    The College will not accept photocopies that are not certified. The College will not accept copies sworn by you,

    the applicant, to be true copies. It is the responsibility of the legal authority to perform the verification.

    This chart describes all the documents you need to submit to the College.

    Documents Notes

    A certified copy of your original dental degree

    An original letter from the graduating universityconfirming your graduationand date

    A certified copy of your final transcripts that includesconfirmation of the dental degree being issued

    This can be submitted instead of a letter from theuniversity (see above).

    A written confirmation from a Canadian or American

    university that you have successfully completed thetwo-year, qualifying or international dentist program

    Required if you attended a two-year qualifying

    program. Not required if you completed theNDEB Equivalency Process

    A certified copy of the certificate issued by theNational Dental Examining Board of Canada

    A certified copy of the appropriate authorization fromCitizenship and Immigration Canada permitting you to

    This could be a Canadian citizenship card,permanent resident card, or Ontario

    practise dentistry in Ontario work permit.

    A completed Certificate of Standing form You can find this form on the College website.It should be completed by the licensing orregulatory body in the jurisdiction in which youhave practised as a dentist. In some countries,this is not a separate organization but agovernment body such as a Ministry of Health.

    This form will provide evidence that you havenot been found guilty in relation to a criminaloffence, that you were not the subject of aninvestigation or proceeding for professionalmisconduct, incompetence, incapacity or asimilar investigation or proceeding, and that youwere not the subject of a finding of professionalmisconduct, incompetence, incapacity or asimilar finding.

    Note:this is a major requirementthat mustbe addressed in all cases. Please contact theRegistration staff at the College if you haveany questions.

    This documentation is valid for three monthsfrom the date it is issued if you continuedto practise in that jurisdiction afterwards.Alternatively, it must have been current and upto date when you left the jurisdiction in question.

    A certified copy of a legal name change certificate,marriage certificate, or divorce certificate

    This is required only if you are applying for alicence under a name that is different from the

    one recorded on your dental degree.

    A written summary of what you have done during anygaps in time between when you obtained your dentaldegree and when you applied to the College

    Some of this information is best obtained while you are still in your country of origin. If you now reside in

    Canada obtaining documentation may be a greater challenge. However, the vast majority of applicants are able to

    obtain the requested documentation. If for any reason you believe that the documentation is unobtainable then

    contact the Registration Department staff. They may be able to assist with contact information in your country of

    origin or provide guidance on alternative solutions.

    Where indicated, you must submit certified copies of the original documents plus certified translations of those

    documents if they are not in English or French. It is your responsibility to arrange for the official translation. You

    cannot translate your own documents. Original translations must verify that the translation is accurate and

    authentic and will be accepted only from the following:

    the consulate, high commission or embassy to Canada of the country that issued the documents;

    a Canadian embassy, consulate, or high commission in the country from which you emigrated;

    a translator accredited by a professional association of translators in Canada. To obtain the name of an

    accredited translator, contact the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario (ATIO) at 1-800-234-5030 or 613-241-2846, or

    a translator who has received accreditation through a federal, provincial or municipal government

    in Canada.

    All acceptable translations must be accompanied by an original statement indicating

    the translators number and/or seal, name, address and telephone number

    that the translator belongs to one of the categories listed above

    printed name and signature of the translator

    Applicants are also welcome to bring original documentation to the College and we will photocopy it here and

    hand it directly back to you. Please call ahead and let us know if you are coming in order to ensure that a staff

    person is available. By law, all documentation that the College receives becomes the property of the College and

    will not be returned. Letters/certificates of standing are often original because the College prefers to receive

    them directly from the governing authority (though you might have obtained it before leaving your country). If

    for any reason you would like a copy of this document or any other in your file then let us know. Were happy to

    provide that to you at no charge.

    Step 4 Complete Required College Courses

    You must also successfully complete the Colleges web-based course in Jurisprudence and Ethics. This course is

    available on the College website www.rcdso.org- without charge. Note: you must submit an application form

    to the College to be able to access the course. This form is also available on our website.

    Step 5Demonstrate Language Proficiency Assessment

    You should be reasonably fluent in either English or French. Many dental programs throughout the world are

    taught in English so you may or may not be required to submit evidence of fluency.

    When it is necessary, the College currently accepts TOEFL minimum scores of 600 PBT, 250 CBT or 100 ITB.

    For IELTS a minimum band of 6.5 for the General test.

    NOTE: Completion of the IELTS Academic version will not be accepted.

    Labour Market Information

    It must be stressed that as a Regulator we process applications based on whether the applicant has met the

    legislated requirements for registration and not on whether Ontario needs dentists or not. Unlike in some

    countries, dentistry is not funded by the government but is an independent, privately run business. The average

    income for a dentist according to a year 2000 poll was approximately $132,000 (Canadian).

    There are currently over 9,000 dentists in Ontario. Employment for this occupation is expected to grow more

    rapidly than the average for all occupations in the immediate future. More job openings will be created each yearfrom the need to replace dentists who retire. Several factors influence the demand for dental services:

    population growth, improvements in oral hygiene that allow elderly people to keep their teeth longer, and public

    awareness of the importance of dental health. In addition, as the baby boom ages, a large number of

    the population will need maintenance on complicated dental work. The nature of dentistry is also changing with

    a greater emphasis on cosmetic procedures.

    A 2004 survey estimated that 58% of the profession in Ontario practised in the City of Toronto. Toronto,

    therefore, is a highly competitive market and applicants should consider practising in areas outside of this

    concentrated area. Membership in the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario is not a guarantee of

    employment. The College does not provide employment services and there is no central job placement

    service for dentists in Ontario.
