Certainly Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, over 10 years ago, assisted the Paramedic Association to identify the national competency profile, so educational institutions now have a standard language of what a paramedic is or isn't. A primary care paramedic is what would be known as an EMT, and an advanced care paramedic is like an EMTP, for EMT paramedic, as you may have noted in your jurisdiction. However, the provinces are not required to have a baseline of any sort as it relates to ambulance or emergency medical service or paramedic care. It's the educational institutions that provide those varying levels of graduates, and then it's up to the province to determine how many of what type of provider are available.
