Yes it is possible. I know two from the UK are currently working in New Brunswick. I've copied a previous post of mine for you.
This is a quote from a post I made a few days ago in another thread. PCP training is about 10 months and you need that before you can take your ACP, which is about 13 months as a full time course.
"If you are a "Basic" you are unlikly to get a job in Canada. You won't in Nova Scotia. A basic is about the same as our MFR. If you are a paramedic however you can challenge our provincial test. If you go here "http://www.gov.ns.ca/ehs/paramedics.htm" There is some information on registration here in Nova Scotia. Just above it are some "Comparison Templates". You can use these to compare your level of training and practice to what is required here. If you think your current training etc. is similar to ours you can ask your medical director to sign off on it. Then you can send it to our medical director for an evaluation. If he accepts it as being comparable then you would be registered at the appropriate level.
Our neighbouring province of New Brunswick is currently hiring PCPs and have recently hired two from England. I know you have to register with the Paramedic Association of New Brunswick first, (www.panb.ca). Then send an application to Ambulance New Brunswick, (http://www.ambulancenb.ca/anbwebs.nsf/Home?OpenForm). Full time PCP's make about $21.00/hr."

You can find details on reciprocity in Alberta at the Alberta College of Paramedics website. I'm sorry I can't be of much help other than that.
