    Dear Guys

    I'm Valentina. I'm Italian. In the next two years I'd like to move to Canada to live and work. My husband is Canadian and a dentist like me. I'd like to ask some questions and curiosities about our work in Vancouver, its organization (it will be very different from Italian one) and to meet some colleagues over there. Next August we are going to Vancouver on holiday, it could be an opportunity to meet us. My private e-mail is: [email protected]. Contact me if you want.

    Cheers.

    Valentina

    You should look into the process of transferring your dental license. I'm not sure about the case for dentists, but for foreign-trained doctors, Canada is notoriously strict with its equivalency regulations. Many of them have to give up their profession to live here because their credentials aren't recognized. A lucky few will get the opportunity to compete for limited IMG residency spots to redo their training and recertify.
