Well if there aren't enough hoops and loops in life to jump through, here's another. Took a look earlier today, aha, PCL is expiring in Feb 22. Go to the website for renewal, name, rank, service number, shoe size, etc. Now they want a picture of an acceptable gov't issued id and a full side picture of the boat along with hull number and hull compliance tag number.
Just tell them you do not own a boat.
I did mine last year. Very easy process, and no cost. I’m good for another 10 years….Quote:

When I got mine it did not have an expiry date. However the card is now worn out and you cannot read anything on it. Looks blank.
I was talking to a CO this summer in Espanola and he doesn't even ask for it. He said he just checks for fish and safety equipment.
Ok now you got me curious. Checked my card says issued 2003/04/23 no expiry date though. Do they expire?
Not the Operators Card, the boat licence with the numbers. They now have a 10 year expiration.Quote:

Not a lot of people realize that we need to carry TWO cards on the boat ready for inspection by Police,CO and Fisheries Officers,our PCOC we get to show proof for doing the boater's course PLUS Transport Canada pleasure craft registration authorization. It's free (at least it was when I did mine in 2019),download and printable from the TC website.
If you read what you posted, it clearly states that renewals will become available in the future, go to section 106 on transport canada, about boat licensing, the date is there, 2021/12/09Quote:

Canadian Coast Guard has zero law enforcement powers and the auxiliary has even less, since they are made up of volunteers.Quote:

The new version dates do not mean the Regs have changed. I don’t know what you are getting at…
I've had the same boat same since 2005, live at the same address since 1989 and haven't heard nothing, I went online transport canada to check this out, and that's where I found the date that I posted, did you see that date in the previous version I mentioned?

Licensing Your Boat
Unlike the boat license that you keep in your wallet, a Pleasure Craft License is the set of ID numbers displayed on your boat which can be used by Search and Rescue personnel to identify your vessel. A Pleasure Craft License is different than a Vessel Registration, which provides proof of ownership (legal title), a unique name and official number for your boat and the right to use your boat as security for a marine mortgage.
The Small Vessel Regulations require that all pleasure craft of all sizes equipped with one or more primary propulsion motors of 10 hp (7.5 KW) or more must be licensed, unless they are registered. The regulation applies to all boats mostly operated or kept in Canada. You can obtain a 10 year license for free from Service Canada. You must renew the license after the 10 year period has expired. If your boat is already licensed, you should make sure that it is in your name and that your contact information is up-to-date. Renewal of your address or contact information does not qualify as a renewal of your pleasure craft license.
The version dates do not mean there were Reg. changes…
Do you have a licence, or just registration…..two different things.Quote:

I have both
This is a snip from my license, which I renewed last year. It shows an expiration date 10 years after the issue date.
