GL: Need real-world experience cruising in Canadian waters

Go ahead and get a Radio telephone operators license. You can get it
on the web. I believe that you only need a ship station license if you
have a SSB not for VHF.

I believe you need a ship station license to operate any radio including VHF outside the USA if you are a USA boat. It can be obtained from the FCC for a $160 fee. Forms are on the internet; google FCC.
