Important information

1 An Ontario driver’s licence (G2) is required for admission to the Paramedic program.

*Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to a program. If the number of qualified applications exceeds the number of seats for a program, applicants may be required to have grades/averages above the minimum.

The grade cutoff is generally higher than the minimum grades required and this cutoff grade changes from intake to intake.
