Yes EMR's do work the oil field in Alberta. Right now is the best time to apply if you apply to 27 places 27 will phone you back. I think the pay for an EMR right now is about $ 200 for a 10-14 hour shift plus living out and you get about 50$ for that. http://www.collegeofparamedics.org/employment.php is a listing of many oil field jobs If you want they will start working you tomorrow.
