I don't know what Canada's laws are, but here in America you do not need any licenses or permit to work with raptors so long as the license/permit holder is present. If you plan on keeping a bird(s) under your name for any length of time you need to have a license or permit. If you acquire a falconry permit than you MUST own, train, and hunt with a bird. I would not recommend getting a falconry permit. If your interested in training these birds to fly for shows and program I would recommend finding someone who has experience in this and learning from them.
