I believe licensing in a provincial thing, numbers.  TC registers vessels.  I’m 
with Rob I registered with TC in 2005.  To do so you have to do a vessel search 
to ensure the name you use has not already been registered.  A friend tried to 
register “Amazing Grace” and had to go with Amazing Grace XX to get a unique 
name.  Cost of registering was $250.00 at the time.  Recommended if transiting 
foreign countries.
