I was wondering if there is any international dentists who moved to canada while preparing for the exams,what did you do for a living?were you able to save money for the exam while working?was it better that you stay abroad and prepare for the exams or move there and study???

If you move to Canada, you would have to work full time on a low paying job, you will be cranky and tired - not a good combination to study successfully. Stay home

This information is not relevant to your question and disrespects my privacy.That's what I can tell you
I lived, worked, prepared and passed board exams in both countries
You can do all, but it will be very hard and not wise at all. Entry level jobs are exhausting and that is exactly what you are going to get in the beginning. If you plan to play your "dentist" card and work as a $25 an hour dental assistant in Ontario, you are seriously mistaken. The best will be $8 to 10 backbreaking mentally exhausting nightmare. to get unemployment or any assistance you need at least 900 hours of work first

I dont find my question to be disrespecting in anyway on the contrary,its important to know if you are talking from experience specially a sucessfull one or not,and from your answer it seems that you moved from both canada and the us and if thats the case then i assume that you werent very happy with how things worked for you because if you were i assume you wouldnt be very skeptical about answering my questions and anyways thanks for your feedback
 
In this part of the world it is common to respect privacy and ask only what is needed.
You obviously don't listen and have your mind set, although your assumptions are wrong
