Remember that a boat license is mandatory to operate a motorized pleasure craft in Canada, even for minors. The minimum fine is $250 if you caught operating without one.

Young people under 16 must also have their boating license if they operate a motorized boat. There are horsepower restrictions for those 16 and under.

From the age of 16, there is no longer a limit on engine power. The online training, the Transport Canada final exam and the boat operator card that will be issued are the same, regardless of age. And it's valid for life.

The pleasure craft operator card will be valid for all types of pleasure craft, regardless of the type of engine, whether for a small electric motor installed on a canoe or for a booster motor on a sailboat.
