Hello to all who have seen this question,
Recently my wife and I have moved to Mauritius from Canada, and I was wondering if my Canadian skipper's licence would be valid and legal to use? I did some researching on the Mauritian skipper licence but I feel it would be no point getting it if I've already got skippers.
Thanks to all that respond.

Recently the provisions of the have changed, now requiring a person holder of an overseas skipper`s licence to validate same at the Mauritius Tourism Authority`s office in Mauritius. The validation process is quite simple: You bring your licence, you have to score 14 out of 20 questions of a written questionnaire.

Good luck.
