So as per the 1st part any Indian BDS / MDS graduate wanting to work in canada as a dentist needs to fulfill the following steps . See the FLOWCHART below .
We will be seeing in to each step One by One .
Step .1.WEB BASED SELF ASSESSMENT
NDEB Online Self-Assessment
The NDEB web-based self-assessment has been developed as a tool to help you gauge your ability to successfully complete the Assessment of Fundamental Knowledge.
The web-based self-assessment consists of 100 multiple choice questions. Upon completion, a tally of your responses (correct, incorrect, and unanswered) will be provided, along with some guidelines on how to proceed based on your score. These results are provided as a guideline only, and neither disqualify you from taking the Assessment nor guarantee that you will receive the minimum required test equated score on the Assessment.

STEP . 2 . APPLICATION & DOCUMENT VERIFICATION
Application for the 2013 Equivalency Process is now OPEN. The application deadline date for the 2013 NDEB Equivalency Process is September 28, 2012.
Graduates of non-accredited dental programs can also successfully complete an accredited Qualifying/Degree Completion Program in order to become eligible to participate in the NDEB Written and OSCE Examinations. These programs are especially designed to orient international graduates to dentistry and dental practice in Canada.
You must contact the universities directly to obtain specific information regarding these programs and admissions procedures. Contact information can be found below.
The result of one or more of the Assessments in the NDEB Equivalency Process are requirements for application to a Qualifying Program or a Degree Completion Program. Each university will inform you of its admission policy including which Assessments are admission requirements.
The application fee for the NDEB Equivalency Process is $600.00, non-refundable.
NOTES
- Application to the Equivalency Process and Registration for Assessments must be submitted online. Only credit card payments will be accepted.
- Upon verification, individuals who have previously participated in the l’Ordre des dentistes du Québec (ODQ) equivalency process, the Association of Canadian Faculties of Dentistry (ACFD) Eligibility Examination or the NDEB certification process for non-accredited graduates will receive a credit for the application fee.
- Due to a high volume of documents received by our office we are unable to provide oral updates on documentation. The status of your documents can be obtained by logging into your online application and selecting the Profile Tab. Documents that have been ‘received’ will take approximately 6-8 weeks to be reviewed.
STEP . 3 . Assessment of Fundamental Knowledge

But just with BDS degree but no qualifying exam you can work as dental hygienist or in dental lab . You also have the option to do management course and try your option in Hospital Management .

DDS is the dental course in USA . In Canada , if u r a student with a dental degree from INDIA ( BDS ) then u will need to appear for the equivalency exam as mentioned in the article . Once u clear it u can start practicing in Canada .
