Vessel Registration - Vessel License
There are only two types of registration for a boat in Canada and they may not exist at the same time.
A Vessel License may favourably be replaced by a Certificate of Registry. Not the contrary.
The Licence is only an identification registration at Transport Canada via Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. The license number includes a letter identifying the province of the original owner or the province where the first license has been issued for the boat (e.g.: D or QC = Quebec, E or ON = Ontario).
It is not a confirmation of ownership !
Mandatory for boats not registered (Certificate of Registry) and having a global motive power of 10 H.P. (7.36 kw.) or more.
"In Bond" License
This license with the letter "B" at the end of its number is no longer issued since October 8th 1990. It cannot be transferred and will not be replaced if lost or destroyed.It was issued for the "In Bond" boats. Now, only the Certificate of Registry is issued for these boats.
