​​​​​​​​​​Dentists Coming from Another Province

Labour Mobility

Dentists registered in another Canadian jurisdiction recognized under the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), are eligible to apply for registration to practice dentistry in British Columbia. All information required for registration are noted in the application instructions and forms.

Certificate of Standing

If you are applying for registration in BC and are currently or have previously been registered in another Canadian jurisdiction, CDSBC requires a Certificate of Standing from that jurisdiction.

The Certificate of Standing is valid for up to 30 days from the date that it was signed. If you do not have your registration process completed within the 30 days, a new Certificate will be required.​

You will find the application forms in the Dentist Registration Requirements and Forms section. ​
