COVID-19 Update
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Ministry of Health is postponing the provincial Advanced Care Paramedic examination until further notice.
The deadline to apply for the 2020 Summer Advanced Emergency Medical Care Assistant (AEMCA) examination will be extended. The ministry is working on a solution that will allow candidates to apply online after April 17, 2020.
At this time, the remaining 2020 provincial entry-to-practice examinations are still scheduled to run as planned. The ministry continues to work with the office of the provincial Chief Medical Officer of Health and will provide updates to candidates and college programs as soon as new information becomes available. Make sure to visit this page regularly to check for any new information regarding the examinations.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at CertificationExams@ontario.ca if you have any questions.
Please note that all exams will be tested to the paramedic practice standards that are in force as of the Exam Date
