Hello to all, my name is Daniela.

I will be entering my 5-th year of dentistry in a few months
I'm studying in Bulgaria which is in Europe, we entered the EU in 2007.

My question is this, when i graduate (it's 6 years study here) can i apply for work in the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand ?

and if i can what's the procedure for that ? (NBDE + TOEFL + 2 years study in uni' ?)
is it easier to apply for say Canada or Australia then the US ?
and what about getting citizenship in these countries for to be able to work there ?

sorry for the basic\newbie questions it's my first time here and i started to think about this sort of thing (moving \ emigrating) just a few weeks ago..

Thanks in advance 🙂

To practise:
US: NBDE + TOEFL + 2 years study in uni'
Canada: 2 Options:
3 EXAMS + Regular licensing exams
OR NBDE + TOEFL + 2 years study in uni'
Australia: OET+ 2Exams

For Immigration, I think Australia is the easiest but depends upon individual cases.

Thank you very much for the info' db33, i appreciate it !

Can you explain a little bit more about the first option for Canada that is without the 2 years study in uni' > 3 "EXAMS + Regular licensing exams"
3 exams on what subjects ? + Regular licensing exams = NBDE ?

and about Australia: OET = Occupation English Test, it's different from TOEFL i guess (easier/harder) ?
+ 2Exams on what subjects (something similar to NBDE) ?

@ toothfairy482, i tried doing a search and there were many.. too many info' i couldn't fined the exact info' i was looking for (maybe i should've look a bit more..)
however if you know of a good thread with a useful info' that will help with my questions please feel free to share in here (i'll be grateful for a link or two)

Thanks again for your help !

Same as every foreign trained dentist, but your post graduation will help you with getting in the programs.
