Is a boating license required in Ontario?
Absolutely. Anyone who operates a motorized boat or PWC in Ontario must possess evidence of competency, irrespective of their age, the boat’s engine power, or its length. The most commonly accepted proof of competency in Ontario is the Pleasure Craft Operator Card.
Even if your vessel is equipped with an electric trolling motor or has an engine with less than 10hp, a boating license is still mandatory. Operating a boat without a Pleasure Craft Operator Card in Ontario can result in a fine of $250.
