Is it accredited?
Dentistry: Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC). CDAC's own site states that graduates of programmes holding one of its accreditation statuses are recognized for registration and licensure with the provincial regulatory authority. CDAC also states on its Find a Program page that the list was last updated in December 2023 and is refreshed each December, so a very recent change may not be reflected.
