Race Categories (Nordiq Canada Rules and Regulations 341.1) based on Year of Birth
Race categories for licenses are based on the new Competition Model. Year of Birth and race distances will define race categories during the 2019/20 Competition season.


Benefits of Development Level Racing License for Younger Skiers

The Development License for younger skiers is not mandatory. Benefits include:
·       preferred seeding in races
·       inclusion of results on the Canada Points list
·       cost savings for athletes competing five or more sanctioned races

With the inclusion of the Development License Nordiq Canada will be able to more accurately track the development of young skiers in the Training 2 Train and above levels of the Competition Model. 

Associate Member License
To further integrate calendar opportunities with the USA and other ski federations, Nordiq Canada has introduced an Associate Race License for foreign skiers who don’t have an active FIS license. License holders will be eligible for preferred seeding and their performances will be included in the Canada Points List calculations. By doing this, we can compare results of Canadian, US and other foreign racers in all domestic competitions.

Purchase of the Associate License will be integrated into the normal online Race License Application process (coming soon!)

Guide License for Athletes with a Visual Impairment
The visually impaired athlete is to purchase their Nordiq Canada race license as well as a guide license for the season. The guide license allows the athlete to have as many guides in a season as necessary.  Each guide does not need to purchase a Nordiq Canada licence; however every unlicensed guide must sign a waiver at their first race of the season. If the regular and only guide of the athlete has a Nordiq Canada race license, the athlete does not need to purchase the guide license.
