The Regulations also apply to non-residents:

• If they operate their pleasure craft in Canadian waters for more than 45 consecutive days or,
• If they operate a pleasure craft that is licensed or registered in Canada (including rented or chartered boats).
• The Regulations do not apply to non-residents who operate their pleasure craft in Canadian waters for less than 45 consecutive days. Please note that a proof of residence will be required on board at all times

Acceptable Proof of Competency for Non-Residents. For non-residents, proof of competency can take one of three forms:

• A Canadian-issued pleasure craft operator card.
• A completed boat rental safety check-list (for power-driven rental boats). For insurance purposes we highly recommend getting the Canadian-issued pleasure craft operator card here or pleasure craft operator card website
• An operator card or equivalent that meets the requirements of their state or country.
