Terminology thing - it's not actually two licenses but one license 
(station license) and one certificate (operator's).  I tend to forget 
about the station license since it's not required for recreational 
boaters in either the US or Canada and only the operator's certificate 
is required in Canada.  The exception is when crossing the border - the 
station license _is_ required.  The odd thing is that neither country 
requires it in their own waters.  However, a reciprocal agreement on 
station licenses hasn't been negotiated.
