6. Proof of Proficiency in English (if applicable)
To determine if you need to provide proof of English proficiency, please visit this section of our website and select 'Prospective Undergraduate Students English Language Proficiency'. If you meet one of the conditions exempting you from providing proof of English proficiency, you will need to send an email to the 成人VR视频 Office to let us know as well as provide the proof of exemption.
Your test results must be sent directly to 成人VR视频 (not to the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences) by the test centre in an electronic format. Consequently, candidates' paper copies of results will not be accepted as proof of English language proficiency. It is your responsibility to ensure that the official test results in an official format are forwarded directly by the testing service to 成人VR视频.
The English Proficiency Test results are uploaded on a specific weekly sequence. It can sometimes take up to 7 business days for the results to be uploaded to the students鈥� account once received

9. Immunization and vaccination records
After you have been accepted to our DMD Advanced Standing for Foreign Trained Dentists Pathway, you must complete the requirements of the Compulsory Immunization Program. Depending on the immunizations that you have already received and the availability of your vaccination records, completing 成人VR视频's immunization program may take from six to eight months. Not being fully immunized will prevent you from participating in mandatory clinical activities and may impact your candidacy. Therefore, we highly recommend to be fully immunized upon the application deadline.听Please send us a copy of your immunization record by email before the deadline. The Immunization Form for Students in Health Care Programs is found on the Student Wellness Hub's website under the 'Immunization Reviews' tab. Vaccinations may be completed by your family physician or a health care provider.听Please do not send your immunizations to the Student Wellness Hub until after you have been accepted.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We will accept incomplete vaccination status by the application deadline. However, accepted candidates would need to be within 3-4 months from completing the vaccination program when accepting the offer to keep their seat in the DMD program. It is required to provide proof of childhood vaccination for Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. If you cannot provide these records, you will need to restart the whole series which can take up to 8 months (and would disqualify you for admission to the Winter 2025 cycle). A booster is unfortunately not sufficient.
Although not required when submitting an application, candidates who will receive an offer of admission will need to provide proof of certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), level C or C+, and automated external defibrillation (AED) training. Certification must be granted, or fully recognised, by one of the following organisations: the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Quebec Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Canadian Red Cross, St. John Ambulance, the American Heart Association, or the American Red Cross. This document will be required by November 30th of the year in which you are commencing undergraduate dental education.
