Canadian to USA EMT

[Charlotte]

There are also several other provinces Kiwi. Which one are you in again?

As for the original poster, I work with a paramedic who came from CA to Alberta. Let me know if you would like me to get some information from them.

Yes but, even the weather in northern CA is nicer than where I'm at year round

It is however nice to have the health care I do. That will probably change with the decade however, but that's a discussion for a more political section of the forum ...

I'm not certain he/she would know how to transfer the other way around, but it sure doesn't hurt to ask - Thank you! I've just been going around in circles not receiving any definite direction. It seems no one at the higher levels knows what to do.

There are, however all others use the PCP/ACP labelling except Alberta (EMT/EMTP) and Ontario, while using PCP/ACP nomanclature technically still uses the term A-EMCA

What, I did some research, bet you can't tell me what our levels are

Doesn't really matter to me

Hey no prob, I should be running into him in the next couple of days at work. It's been a couple years but he might still have some inside info that might help to stop you from running around in red tape circles!

I'm considering working and travelling when I'm done school in a year. Don't know where yet, somewhere warmer than here in the winter! My dad is American and lives near San Diego and I have relatives in other parts of the state too. Please let me know how things end up going for you as I had also considered Cali.

Montreal at least does have limited ALS. It's been a long time coming but I think Quebec is finally moving forward. There may be some options there for you. I hope you speak French though.

OK ... there's a lot of low cards in that hand, but at least USM have fairly cool looking Ambulances

Right on...keep me posted and I'll let you know if/when I make any positive progress on my end in the mean time : )

I heard somewhere that San Diego has a great service to work for. L.A. and O.C. - not so much! Unless you move into fire.
