Our advice would be to gather all of the required information and evidence required for a complete submission. This includes providing evidence for any competencies and medications which you have identified as gaps.
COPR’s assessment process now consists of four steps.
- Complete the Initial Application Form – $50
- Competency Self-Assessment Tool within your account.
- Eligibility Assessment Application Form – $150
- Applicant File Review
Upon completion of those steps, COPR will provide a summary of assessment findings to the respective provincial paramedic regulator for consideration. Applicants will then be contacted by the regulator regarding completion of provincial regulatory requirements. It should be noted that regulatory requirements differ in each provincial jurisdiction. It is at this point that any additional gaps can be discussed or requested for completion should any be missing.
Once you have everything, you will then be able to assemble the application using the online COPR submission tool. Submitting your application in a completed state will allow for a complete assessment, and reduce overall processing time, as you will not have to follow up with additional requirements.
Additional requirements have now been added in conjunction with the NOCP competency analysis.
- Applicants are required to upload/submit the following documentation:
- Course outlines or curriculums
- Verification of Currency in Practice
- Credential Authentication Report
- Language Proficiency Requirements
- Letter of Regulatory Standing (if applicable)
- Verification of Employment (if applicable)
- To verify regulatory standing and/or employment, the following electronic forms must be completed and submitted directly to COPR by the regulator and/or employer.
- All documents must be translated and uploaded/submitted in English or French dependent on the jurisdiction the applicant is seeking registration/licensure/certification in.
