Use the Virtual Licence system to find, download, and print a copy of your radiocommunication licences. The Land Station Browser, Mobile Station Browser, and Invoice Browser allow you to browse and search all administrative, technical, and financial information about the radio licence accounts associated with your Web profile.

Use the Land Mobile Application or Microwave Application forms to apply for licences on line. Application Utilities allow you to add to the radio model or antenna model lists, or download application-related software.

Use the Broadcasting Application modules to submit and monitor an application for a broadcasting certificate for a radio apparatus that forms part of a broadcasting undertaking.

The various search tools provide real-time access to Canada-wide frequency information from Industry Canada's Assignment and Licensing System (ALS) database. (Please note that to improve performance, microwave application data is no longer available in the search results.)  The geographical area search now includes data provided by PCS or cellular companies on their radiocommunication stations. 

Use the Invoice Payment option to securely pay your radio licence invoice on-line using a credit card (to a maximum of $5,000). You will need your account number and the number of the invoice you wish to pay. If you have a Web profile, the Invoice Browser provides access to detailed invoice information and our payment system.

A Web profile provides the user name and password that allow access to the secure areas of our site, where you can submit applications and browse information for the associated accounts.

Companies operating PCS or cellular stations are required periodically to provide Industry Canada with information on radiocommunication stations covered by their spectrum licence. Those companies must use these tools to upload this information and view their station data. Refer to "Data Requirements and XML Schema" for a detailed description and examples of the information that must be submitted and for assistance in developing related procedures.

The National Maritime Information Database (NMID) is a dynamic database containing the details (vessel or coast station information, vessel name, owner, type and size, etc.) of all Maritime Mobile Service Identities (MMSIs) assigned to Canadian vessels and coast stations by Industry Canada.

We provide comprehensive on-line help on getting started with the site, site navigation, the application process, searching, security, and much more.

These sites offer additional information on spectrum management. They are not part of the Spectrum Direct site.
