I am hoping to move permanently to Canada in 2007.

I have a 55ft Motor boat which I would like to bring with me. The boat is
approx 32 tons net weight and Part 1 UK Registered

I have RYA dayskipper Theory, Practical and RYA VHF DSC operators licence.

Where do I even begin to find out what I am required to do in order to make
this vessel OK in Canada and me to pilot it?

Forget any issue of transportation and power supplies etc, I have those bits
under control

Also I have identified a newsgroup called can.rec.boating which may be
helpful to me but this is the first time I have ever tried to work with
newsgroups and my news server does not find this. Any ideas (in layman's
terms) how I might be able to connect to this group?

Hope someone can help
