Canadian Boating License on the Internet!
All Canadians are now required by federal
law to carry a boating license when operating a powered water craft under 4m in
length. Those born after April 1, 1983 require a license for any sized water craft.
To receive this boat operator license, you must pass a multiple choice exam with
a score of at least 75%.
Where can I take my exam and get my boat license?
You can write your exam directly on the internet at
BoaterExam.com®. Once you pass the exam your boat operator license is mailed
to your home. In the meantime, you can print
a temporary license and use that while you wait for your permanent card
to arrive.
Where can I study for my boating license test?
All the required safe boating
training material to get your boat operator license is available for free
at BoaterExam.com®. Simply visit our
Free Safe Boating Training section to gain access to the course manual.
Where can I get more information about Canadian boating regulations and the Canadian
boating license?
