Hi, My name is RunningWolf. I am looking for an EMS job in Canada (family in Quebec & Ontario).
I have a BS in Computer Science (IT), as well as my Secondary Ed (Math) license. After being laid off from teaching, I went back to school to study for what I originally planned - medicine/health. I took my pre-requisites for nursing school as well as a LNA course, acquiring a Nursing Assistant License. I have been working as a LNA for almost 1.5 years now. Most recently, I passed all my exams to receive my EMT-B certification. Next on the list is PT (Personal Training) certification.
I have a question pertaining to reciprocity between the US & Canada. What are the requirements to transfer my NREMT (EMT-B) certification to a Canadian (Ontario or Quebec) EMT/Paramedic certification?
Can someone please point me in the right direction about what I need to do next? Thank you!
RunningWolf
I commented in your thread.
Hi RunningWolf, welcome to emtlife. My understanding is that Canada has much higher standards for their EMS providers then the US so transferring a cert from here to there probably isn't going to happen but I'll let more experienced folks fill you in.
It is not what I would call an easy process but it is possible.
