I recenlty moved up from the US (though am a proud Canadian). I received my FF-II pro-qual down there and also did an EMT-B (160 hours training) course -- all of this in Maryland, through the volunteer system.
I am starting to think seriously of looking for a career position here in Ontario, but am unsure of my EMT-B training. I would not like to retake hours and hours of first-aid again (refresher is fine, always good) and was wondering if anyone had any idea of any reciprocity, transferring or challenging something equivalent to my EMT-B. I had read somewhere about EMR which seems almost equivalent (??).
I would like to attempt to transfer my 160 hours of EMT-B training into something semi-equivalent here in Ontario.
Who would you suggest I contact? Red Cross (I have talked to them briefly)? St John Ambulance?
I hope this makes sense. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
