In Alberta were I am registared the program I took was an online course, with of course practical skill days, testing days, and class study days, as well of course practicum days and these are the times you have to attend a class. But in general everything else was done on line through web ct. The course takes about 18 months to graduate and then you must pass your provincial examination to registar. I am not sure if you can challenge the EMR & EMT-A levels that come before the EMT-P, you would have to inquire with the provincial examination board to find out.
Here is the links for the school and governing body for our province in Canada.
