I was until I looked into it. I can't find a reference to this anywhere. I may have confused it with another regulation or the regs have changed in the intervening years. My apologies!! That said: > My US license is about to expire. If the > cost is nominal and I can schedule the exam, I'd do it. I don't need > a license down here. I can't find anything on the Canadian Power and Sail Squadron's web site about foreign applications for the license. http://www.cps-ecp.ca/english/index.html - if you select <courses> (upper left hand of page), you'll see a list of courses that you can take; the Restricted Operator's Certificate (Marine) is the one for Marine VHF. It's C$45 for the two parts plus the exam fee. When I took the course, it was $40 for a classroom course including the exam. The Vancouver Squadron lists it at $80 this spring http://vancouver.powersquadron.ca/radio.html (chosen as an example near you). I guess the best thing you can do is e-mail the CPS and see what they know about your taking the Canadian exam and getting the Canadian license.
