Dunno if available in Canada but in Europe the RYA training has become a de facto standard. Most rental companies will rent you a boat if one personal has the day skipper and the other the competent crew.
I have done them myself up to costal skipper sail because that's what they require in Spain. That was before I got my own boat ๐ It's a solid preparation.
Only drawbacks: quite military-type education and expensive. But if you can put up with that, worth it.
