Requirements to be verifiedRecruitment watch
Firefighter / Emergency Medical Responder applications close 27 November 2026. This is a credential screen, not an aptitude-test competition. Advertised requirements: high school diploma or equivalent, current EMR certification recognised in Manitoba (College of Paramedics registration), Firefighter Level I and II to NFPA 1001, a valid Manitoba Class 4 licence with air brake endorsement, a Vulnerable Sector Check plus Child and Adult Abuse Registry checks, and the ability to pass a fitness and medical examination to department standard. Shift work including nights, weekends, holidays and on-call. Thompson also recruits Firefighter/PCP at a higher paramedic level - check which stream the posting you found is for, because the certification requirement differs.

The posting does not name CPAT or any other standardised test. You must pass a fitness and medical examination to Thompson's own department standard, including vision and hearing minimums.
