• PLEASE NOTE: You must add “collegeofparamedics.sk.ca” to the safe senders list in your email account to ensure you receive all SCoP communications

Items Required:

The following item must be uploaded to your Application Form:

• Applications in December: after submitting your application, please email office@collegeofparamedics.sk.ca and confirm whether you’d like your licence to take effect immediately (practicing fee of $130, can be paid immediately) or January 1 (will need to adjust practicing fee to $520). If applying for January 1, the College will need to change the invoice amount to reflect the correct practicing fee; choose e-transfer and submit the form, then email the office  to ask for an adjusted invoice
