Here in Canada our criminal justice system does not use the classification of felony or misdemeanor. Our system uses the classifications of indictable offence, summary conviction offences, or dual procedure. Dual procedure offences can be tried either as indictable or summarily, it is up to...
Most oilfield medics in Alberta are either EMRs (equivalent of EMTB) or OFA3s. While there are EMTs, and EMTPs in the patch most oil companies will go with the cheaper cost of EMRs or OFA3s. In Alberta EMRs, EMTs, and EMTPs have to be registered with the Alberta College of Paramedics. OFA3s...
Medicine Hat College in Medicine Hat Alberta does offer a Bachelor of Health Sciences Paramedic degree for EMTP/ACP. I remember that the University of Toronto Scarborough used to offer a BSc degree for PCP, although I am not sure if they are still offering it.

That's it for nuring eduction in the USA. No wonder US hospitals, and other health care organizations come up to Canada to try and recruit our nursing students. Here in Canada RN is a Bachelors degree, and LPN has been increased to a 2 year course. My Mom was an LPN her course was 1 year.

As far as I know SAIT, and NAIT only require you be a registered EMT/PCP. Medicine Hat College has a 4 yr zero to hero Bachelors program for EMTP/ACP, and they don't even require you be an EMR to enter their program. Why is EMS different from the other medical professions, RNs don't have to...
Take your EMT/PCP training first then apply to be a correctional officer. Because like cprted said only RNs and physicians are employed in Canadian Correctional facilities. Your best bet if you want to work in correction is to become a EMS trained correctional officer.
