Can I become a firefighter with myopia and astigmatism?

Hello,

That is a very good question! Candidates wishing to enroll in college fire safety technical programs are usually asked to be in very good physical and mental shape. Many physical, medical and practical tests are required for admission to the various schools. However, I don't know what the specific requirements are for both admission and certification.

It would be possible for you to join the École Nationale des pompiers du Québec: https://www.ecoledespompiers.gouv.qc.ca/index.php?id=71

Or one of the institutions offering the college course:

Campus Notre-Dame-de-Foy: https://www.cndf.qc.ca/programs/dec-professionals-and-techniques/fire-safety-techniques/

Montmorency College: https://www.cmontmorency.qc.ca/programs/our-study-programs/techniques/fire-safety-techniques/program-description/

Hopefully this will help you in your research 🙂
