Requirements

Admission Requirements: Confederation College's Advanced Care Paramedic programme admits domestic applicants who hold a Paramedic Ontario College Diploma, a Primary Care Paramedic Diploma from an accredited Canadian college program, or an Ambulance and Emergency Care Certificate. Applicants must also submit a copy of that credential, an A-EMCA certificate or equivalent, a letter from their EMS service confirming a minimum of 1,000 hours of ambulance field experience (completed or to be completed by programme start), a letter of certification under Base Hospital Medical Authority, and a valid driver's licence, and must achieve a minimum score of 70% on the college's Pre-Admissions Exam, scheduled once all other application requirements are met. The programme's own admission page states that this intake is not available to international students, so no English-language test score is published for it.

Application Details

Start Date: Fall
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry the application opened 26 September 2026 and the province-wide equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027; Confederation also publishes its own equal-consideration dates of 1 March for Winter-entry programmes and 1 April for Spring-entry programmes. After these dates, files are assessed on a rolling, first-come basis while seats remain, and the college flags Aviation, Health, Engineering Technology and Community Services programmes as filling quickly. International applicants apply via international.ocas.ca; intakes close roughly six weeks before each semester starts and a programme can close earlier once seats fill, so no fixed international closing date is published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
