Canadian amateur radio regulations allow a certified operator to share the hobby with uncertified individuals by letting them use the station. The critical requirement is that the uncertified person must be directly supervised and physically in the presence of the certificate holder. The certified operator acts as the control operator and assumes full legal responsibility for all transmissions made by the guest. Distractors suggesting that prior written permission from Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Canada is required are false; the certified operator has the authority to grant this permission on the spot. Options allowing unrestricted use are also entirely incorrect due to the strict supervision requirement.
