Primary Care Paramedic base pay grid

Front-line Primary Care Paramedic (entry step to top step) at a representative employer per province; base rate only, excludes overtime and premiums. Standard work-years differ (BC ~1,950h vs ON/MB ~2,184h), so annual figures are not directly comparable. Advanced Care Paramedics earn materially more everywhere.
