The Aurora Amateur Radio Group can help coordinate examinations for Canadian licenses in the amateur radio service. To qualify for a license examination in Canada, you must have a valid mailing address to receive a printed copy of your certificate from ISED. The Accredited Examiner will require documented proof of your mailing address, along with valid photo identification.
Our contacts administer exams for the Advanced, Basic and Morse Code Qualifications as defined by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (a.k.a. ISED). Here are the various combinations of license Qualifications:
===> Basic Qualification (100 question exam) is earned when you score a passing mark of 70 per cent or higher.
===> The Basic Qualification itself only grants the license holder privileges above 50 MHz. To obtain HF privileges, the applicant must do one of three things:
==> Score a mark of 80 per cent or higher on the Basic Qualification exam, thus passing with Honours (a.k.a. Basic with Honours)
==> Obtain the Morse Code Qualification at 5 w.p.m. or
==> Obtain the Advanced Qualification (50 question exam) and reach a passing mark of 70 per cent or higher
