Passing the Amateur Radio Basic Qualification Exam (70% pass mark) is the starting point for becoming a ham, and it will get you "on the air" with access to many of the ham bands. ANYONE WHO ACHIEVES A MARK OF 80% OR GREATER WHEN WRITING THE BASIC QUALIFICATION EXAM WILL BE GRANTED ADDITIONAL PRIVILEGES. THESE ADDITIONAL PRIVILEGES INCLUDE ACCESS TO THE HF AMATEUR BANDS (HF Bands are the bands normally associated with very long distance communications).
More about amateur radio qualification levels and privileges can be found on Industry Canada's web site http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/radioamateur.e
