Rarely do degrees "translate" from one country to another. Often there is a drop of one degree level when you move to a foreign country. A bachelors degree is equivalent to a high school diploma. A Masters in equivalent to a bachelors, etc... The exception is if you have expereince and a career history in your home country. Normally in that case you can pick up where you left off, if you have a work VISA. I don't know how the medical licenses will play a role, however.

yes . u need to go to another 2 years study to be a hygienist , of course u need to pass the exam too. send your transcript of records to the ECE with your diploma . they will evaluate your degree.
