Canada Wide Licensing

Canada Wide Comprehensive Licensing Audit

Radio licensing for oil and gas producers is largely non-compliant due to asset acquisition and divestiture which frequently does not include the appropriate transfer of licenses. As a result, many producers are in violation of the Radiocommunications Act.

True North’s licensing audit allows producers to potentially save costs by cancelling unnecessary licenses while significantly reducing risk of non-compliance.

Important facts you need to know about Radiocommunications Act enforcement:

Corporations and individuals can face administrative monetary penalties for contravening the Radiocommunications Act
Fines for an individual can reach $50,000
Corporate fines can reach $15,000,000
Court-ordered shut-downs of interfering systems can lead to operational downtime
Accounts that are not in good standing can be prevented from obtaining or transferring licenses
