Firstly you will need to have your training recognized, and then probably do some retraining (at your cost) before you an get a paramedic job in Canada. Your best bet would be to get a feel for what province would give your current qualifications the most credit and look at moving there. Your issue will be, nursing is not on the recognized shortage list, so, you would need to get your training recognized, and topped up, before you can apply for a job, which would then need to apply for a labour market option (LMO) to hire you and you would get a temporary work permit (TWP).
From Wikipedia, Paramedics In Canada:
"Paramedic wages in Canada vary depending on province or territory. Paramedics in Alberta will be earning comparable wages to paramedics in the United States, ranging from $35,000 to $40,000 yearly starting out. However, paramedics in Ontario in such regions or cities as Ottawa, Toronto, Peel Region, or Durham, will have an annual salary starting from $60,000 to $75,000 as a Primary Care Paramedic, an Advanced Care Paramedic salary can on average range from $80,000 to $90,000, and Critical Care Paramedics range from $95,000 to $120,000. Education background, experience, and level of practice all are contributing factors to which salary is established."
