i don't know about any of the license stuff but good luck becoming a paramedic (if that crossed your mind).

i seriously thought about it before and went in to a station to chat with them.

basically what they said was, you're not gonna end up working in any big cities like vancouver unless you've been there a long while. like 6+ years. you're gonna start off in some rural shithole that you've never heard of and be paid $1/h to be hold a pager and be on call or something. you only get paid regular wage when calls actually come in.

there's a seniority list, and it's very, very, long. and everybody wants to work in big cities. so you gotta wait till the old guys retire.
