Brunei is now added to TC reciprocal agreements list

Brunei is now added to Canada’s List of reciprocal agreement and TC endorsement can be issued to this country marine certificate holders!

Important news for Bruneian seafarers! In December 2024, Canada officially recognized STCW certificates issued by Brunei.

Canada already recognizes STCW certificates issued by several other countries, including Ukraine, Philippines, Australia, Poland, UK, Norway, Panama, Georgia, France, Jamaica and Norway, which helps mariners to obtain the equivalent of their marine licenses, unlocking new prospects for employment and career advancement. It reduces barriers for marine ship owners associated with skilled marine labour shortage.

Seafarers wishing to seek STCW certificate recognition in Canada need to apply and provide supporting documents.

Our team at Over Horizon can guide mariners and ship owners through this process and offer full support to help you achieve successful recognition of the mariner certification in Canada. Our professional assistance helps to streamline the application and avoid potential issues and delays.
