You do not need a Canada Operators card. I don't know where you fellas get that information. Truth is what you need to cross is Called A nexus card. You DO NOT need an Operators card unless you operate a boat for 40 some straight days in Canada. Even then you can stop operating a boat for 1 day and go another 40 some without one. Trust me, Probably no one on this board unlesss they are Canadian spends more time in Canadian waters than I. If you took that Canadian Operators card you wasted your time and money.
