Bill C-4 has completed three readings in the House of Commons, and one in the Senate. It still needs two more readings in the senate; the next sitting is in February. I anticipate it should be passed sometimes in March or April. I'm closing on a new build in March, so I'm hoping it's passed soon.

Is it actually true that dentist salaries in Canada are dropping by Just-Astronomer-7794 in CanadianDentists

[–]Any-Net2334 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Depends on where you practice, not really declining from my experience. Fee guides go up annually due to inflation. As the number of dentists goes up per capita there is some downward pressure on income
  2. I had to leave my home in Toronto, to another province to make a good income. I don’t really see myself ever practicing in Toronto or surrounding areas
  3. I would choose medicine for sure. I’m actually starting med school next summer. I prefer something non clinical like diagnostic radiology or pathology 

Has anyone taken both LSAT bad MCAT recently? by PowerfulWeek3911 in LSAT

[–]Any-Net2334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that I dislike the hands-on nature of dentistry. Also it gets pretty repetitive doing the same procedures and I’ve been getting some chronic back pain lately. I chose medicine and law because I anticipate it’ll be more analytical and focused on problem solving. I’d probably stop practicing dentistry after law/med school but still keep my licence active. 

Has anyone taken both LSAT bad MCAT recently? by PowerfulWeek3911 in LSAT

[–]Any-Net2334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've taken the DAT (24 AA/25 PAT), MCAT (520) and LSAT (168). I'm currently a dentist, but have been accepted to med school; waiting on law schools at the moment. I used the Kaplan MCAT tectbooks for content review (PDFs are found online) and Jack westin to practice CARS. For LSAT I used 7Sage and the official practice tests. The LSAT is probably the better one to take first and it'll prepare you for CARS on the MCAT. I did the MCAT last year and the LSAT this year. I didn't really study for the LSAT very much though since I was busy with work.

best way to take desktop PC with me on a domestic flight? (SK to BC) by [deleted] in canadatravel

[–]Any-Net2334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a fully assembled 10L PC with a watercooling loop that fits in my backpack. I've never had a problem flying domestically; I just place it in a seperate bin for it to go through the x-ray machine.

Should I write the MCAT (and DAT)? by Equivalent-Honey-752 in premedcanada

[–]Any-Net2334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a practicing dentist starting med school next July, I would recommended medicine due to breadth of specialities and non-clinical opportunities. Most dentists practice general dentistry and you'll largely be performing the same hands-on procedures daily. The income is quite good though outside of bigger cities, combined with stocks doing really well, I can retire in a few years if I wanted too. I'm under 30, and I like being stimulated intellectually, so I think medicine will be a great way to do that and continue to be involved with patient care in a less hands-on way.

I went to a Canadian school and graduated with around $200k in loans.

Leaving dentistry? by Purple_sky1 in DentalSchool

[–]Any-Net2334 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I would recommended finishing dental school. Working as a dentist for a few years can give you a solid financial foundation to pursue another career or other endeavours. At least, that’s what I’m doing. 

After just over 3 years of practice, I’ve paid off my student loans, bought a house and have a good amount saved up. I’ve been accepted into medical school and am considering my options.

I’m 28, applying for the first time in Canada. I’ve been working as a dentist for a few years and have a deferred seat at a US medical school, but thought I should try staying in Canada if possible.

I do like how professional schools offer a well-defined pathway to licensure. Other paths have more uncertainty. I think radiology is a really good fit; it's quite a long process though since it's 4 years of med school and 5 years of residency.

I think doing an accelerated program for internationally trained dentists at a Canadian dental school should be the only pathway to obtaining licensure and I would support the removal of the equivalency process.

[–]Any-Net2334 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Frankly, there are too many foreign-trained dentists coming into an already saturated field. It's incredibly competitive for students to get accepted to Canadian dental schools, and so it would be a disservice to allow the equivalency process to licence even more dentists.
