Is there any dentist who graduated from a non-accredited university (outside Canada & USA), got accreditation through the equivalency process and pursued a specialty in USA or Canada? Especially OMFS (Oral & maxillofacial surgery)
Is your degree viewed inferior to those applying with a Canadian or American DMD/DDS degree? What are the hurdles (if there are any)? What experience is require of you to be a competitive applicant?
