Canadian Boating Exam Practice Quiz

Is a pleasure craft license considered a registration?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only for boats over 6m

4. Only for commercial vessels

The correct answer is: No

A pleasure craft license is not considered a registration because it is a separate document from the registration of a vessel. A pleasure craft license is issued by Transport Canada and is required for all pleasure crafts operating in Canadian waters, while registration usually refers to a certificate issued by a provincial or territorial authority that provides proof of ownership and compliance with safety and environmental regulations. Therefore, while a pleasure craft license is necessary, it is not the same as vessel registration. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they imply that a pleasure craft license is the same as vessel registration, which is not the case.
