On 22nd March 2022, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) released updated versions of two important amateur radio policy documents

They are:

RIC-1 – Guide for Examiners Accredited to Conduct Examinations for Amateur Radio Operator Certificates - https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf01007.html
RIC-3 – Information on the Amateur Radio Service - https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf01008.html

Both documents were updated to reflect the changes made to the Radiocommunication Regulations, specifically the rescinded ISED $20 examination fee for Amateur Radio Operator Certificates and the removal of certificates that are no longer issued by ISED. Other revisions include “editorial corrections for clarity” and the conversion to electronic format of the form to apply to become an Accredited Examiner.

Comments and suggestions may be directed to the following address:

Amateur radio in Canada became license exempt on April 1, 2000. A call sign when issued lasts for 125 years from the holders date of birth at which point it can be re-assigned.
