Dental Assistant Licence: Moving from British Columbia to Nova Scotia
The short answer
Direct transfer
Applicants already licensed in another Canadian province or territory apply through the online application and, if they hold an NDAEB certificate and meet currency of practice, are licensed without retaking an entry-to-practice exam; those without an NDAEB certificate receive a Conditional Licence with one year to pass the NDAEB exam, and those not meeting currency of practice must pass the CPE.

“If you do not yet have an NDAEB certificate, you will be issued a Conditional Licence and you will have one year from your date of licensure to successfully complete the NDAEB exam”
