Four levels of paramedic practice
Canada uses the National Occupational Competency Profile (NOCP), published by the Paramedic Association of Canada, as a common reference for four levels of practice. Titles and authorized skills still vary by province.
Emergency Medical Responder (EMR)
First response and basic life support.
Primary Care Paramedic (PCP)
Core ambulance care and defined medication and procedure skills.
Advanced Care Paramedic (ACP)
Expanded assessment, advanced airway and medication skills.
Critical Care Paramedic (CCP)
Critical care transport, including inter-facility transfers.
Exact scope depends on provincial authority and medical oversight.

Paramedic regulation differs by province
Paramedics are regulated in every province, but not the same way. In some provinces a regulatory college registers paramedics. In others a government body licenses or certifies them. Ontario has no regulatory college. Always confirm what applies in the province where the work will happen.
Employers also commonly require a valid driver's licence (and often a clean driving record), current CPR or BLS, and for ACP and CCP roles ACLS, PALS and other certifications.
| Province | Who regulates paramedics |
|---|---|
| British Columbia | Emergency Medical Assistants Licensing Board (EMALB) |
| Alberta | Alberta College of Paramedics |
| Saskatchewan | Saskatchewan College of Paramedics |
| Manitoba | College of Paramedics of Manitoba |
| Ontario | No college. Ministry of Health certification, with base hospital medical director authorization for controlled acts |
| New Brunswick | Paramedic Association of New Brunswick (PANB) |
| Nova Scotia | College of Paramedics of Nova Scotia |
| Prince Edward Island | College of Paramedicine of Prince Edward Island (CPPEI) |
| Newfoundland and Labrador | Newfoundland and Labrador Paramedic Regulator (NLPR) |
We check the credential with the issuing body wherever a public verification is available and tell the employer what we verified.
Moving provinces? Scope and recognition differ, so contact the destination regulator first. The Canadian Organization of Paramedic Regulators (COPR) runs a national entry to practice exam used by several provinces. We do not currently place in Quebec.
How we are different
Credential first
We verify registration or licence before we present a paramedic.
Clear about scope
We do not place paramedics into a level of practice they are not authorized to perform.

Frequently asked questions
Is paramedic practice regulated the same way in every province?
No. Paramedics are regulated in every province, but the model differs. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island use self-regulating bodies. British Columbia, Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador use government regulation. Confirm with the regulator in the province where you will work.
Do you place paramedics in public 911 ambulance services?
No. Public 911 services mostly hire directly. Our paramedic roles are in private patient transfer, remote and industrial site work, event medical coverage and community programs. If that matches what you are looking for, submit your profile and tell us your level of practice and province.
What certifications do remote site employers ask for?
Often a valid paramedic registration or licence, current CPR or BLS, and a driver's licence. Some sites also ask for ACLS, PALS or site-specific training. Requirements vary by employer and by level of practice, so tell us what you hold and we will say which roles may fit.
Do you hire EMRs and first aid attendants?
Tell us your level and we will say what roles may fit. Titles and scope of practice differ by province, so the answer depends on your credential, where you live and where the work is. Submit your profile and include your certificates so we can give you a clear answer.
Does it cost paramedics anything to use your service?
No. It is free for candidates. Always. The employer pays. You will not be asked for a fee to submit your profile, to be introduced to employers or to accept a role, and nothing is shared with an employer without your consent.
How is my personal information handled?
With your consent and under Canadian privacy law. We only share your details with an employer once you agree. You can read exactly how we collect, use and protect information in our privacy policy, or contact us with any questions before you submit a profile.
