Canadian Citizen's who have become FF/EMT in California, how did you do it?

I am currently a Canadian Citizen, and with the way life is my future is most likely going to put me in California. I am currently attending a Fire Academy that will certify me for my local area but is not recognized in Cali. I am curious if anyone has gotten a work visa through local departments and how that process can work. From research I see that it is hard to get a work visa for this stuff and will be challenging process but I don't have many other options. Any advice or things to look into would be greatly appreciated

Sign a 2 year military reserve contract and you auto get citizenship. Literal cheat code + veteran status with discounts for life.

Thank you, I'll look into that.
