The Canadian Organization of Paramedic Regulators (COPR), founded in 2009, is comprised of self-regulating colleges and government regulators of the Paramedic profession in Canada. The purpose of COPR is to facilitate collective and collaborative action in current and future interests of pan-Canadian Paramedic regulation and to support the development of a common understanding of provincial and federal obligations that may impact regulator functions. COPR administers the paramedic entry to practice examination for seven regulatory jurisdictions in Canada and serves as the single point of entry and body responsible for the preliminary assessment of credentials for internationally educated paramedics.
