Canadian Ham exam

[c.spots]

I learned through this group that if my boat is registered in Canada, then the Ham licence (for SSB) must also be from Canada.
Does anybody know if there is are persons in the US who are qualified to administer this exam for Canada?

Thank you.
You have again come up with a comprehensive yet focussed source. My search didn't have the focus.
Now that the house is finally up for sale, I can work on sail projects while waiting for the boat to be ready.

Gord, the amount of accurate information you seem to have at your finger tips is stunning! And very helpful!
