Radio license questions

When I took the PS course in the us two years ago they told us there
was no competency test for VHF in Canadian waters but there was a $150
"filing fee" and that you were required to have one on board (the
permit and the radio). I'm not sure if it applied to Canadians or if
it was the equivalent of a "cruising permit" now a popularized rip in
so many places. Post it if anyone gets a straight story.

I suspect the Canucks aren't ever going to ask unless the coasties
have reason to board you and you give them reason to hassle you. Around
here we often cross into ca waters to fish and occasionally their fish
and wildlife people will check for proper fishing license but they could
care less about anything else.
If you're visiting up there, why would they drive off a cash cow?
