How You Can Proceed with help from DMDAMIRAKAWKAB

Choose your dental school in Lebanon (e.g. USJ, AUB, BAU, Balamand).

Complete your DDS/DMD degree—typically 5‑year programs, with admission via competitive exams like the concours at Lebanese University or entrance criteria at private universities.

Upon graduation, begin the NDEB equivalency route or apply for a qualifying program in Canada:

Learn which Canadian universities you qualify for and what application requirements they have

Plan to meet English/French proficiency requirements as needed.

Prepare for licensure:

If taking the equivalency exams, get access to study aids, mock exams, and coaching

If pursuing Canadian qualifying program, understand prerequisites like GPA, ADAT/test scores, and interviews

Apply to licensing authorities in Canadian provinces once certified, fulfilling local prerequisites for practice.

Final Thoughts

Lebanon offers several strong dental schools (notably USJ, AUB, BAU, Balamand), but as non-accredited programs, you must complete either the NDEB equivalency exams or Canadian qualifying programs to practice in Canada.

The process can be long and costly—planning, preparation, and support are essential.
