Hello all!

I am a US trained NR paramedic planning to relocate to Ontario Canada loking for employment in Toronto Ottawa or Peel Region. Outside of the immigration process which I have down pack, what would be the process to get Advance Care Paramedic certification? Is the process difficult? What is the salary for PCP, ACP? What are the work hours like? Whatever you can share to clarify things would be greatly appreciated.

How do you have the immigration process down pat, is it that easy ?

Where are you from in Caribbean your call sign indicates Bahamas ?

You may be quite surprised that ONT may not accept your US training.

You may be interested in Alberta, if you actually want to get a job in Canada. As tuniqs said, you have to do a little upgrading to work here, but there are actually jobs available in our province.

Check out collegeofparamedics.org for more info.

relatively easier than relocating to the US. Ministry of health CA says they will recognize NREMT-P certs.But at which level is still a grey area. Its the process and length of time thats not so clear. Whether it happens in a week month or year I have no idea. I was looking at the website "college of paramedics" and noticed that they used the terms EMT-P and EMT.

Best be aware that delivery of health, is a provincial jurisdiction not national.

There is no national regulatory body as of this snap shot in time.

Best of luck to you and wear warm clothing .. its bloody cold right now in kanukistan.
