You can do it all online.....

I saw that and would have done it but you have to send in two passport
photos. You can send them in separately to meet up with the on-line
paperwork later but I figured nobody was going to do anything with the
application until it was all together on their desk so, what was the
point?

I also saw that I can print out and sign a form stating that I have filed
the applications and that then becomes my temporary license if posted next
to the radio. The question is whether the Canadians would honor that if
my radio use in their waters was questioned before the FCC gets around to
sending me the real thing. If it's anything like the FAA, that could be a
few years.

What I would like to know is whether or not any foreign governments actually
give a flier about US yachts using vhf radios in their waters. I suspect the
answer is "no, not really."
