UK Paramedic to Canada - advice?

Hi all,

I’m due to qualify as a Paramedic here in the UK next year, and me and my partner have discussed moving to Canada in the next few years.

We’d be looking primarily at Alberta, although other provinces aren’t out of the question.

Is the transfer of qualifications between the UK and Canada (particularly Alberta) tricky? Are there a lot of hoops to jump through?

In addition, would we be best looking at an IEC visa, before looking to gain permanent residency via Express Entry after we’ve been in Canada for a year (I’m considering the amount of points you gain by having spent time living in Canada on the points system here)

If there are any Canadians, or Brits that have moved to Canada, who could assist/give advice, it’d be much appreciated.
