I think it is ridiculous also, but you do not need a license to rent any type of craft. The law states you must have proof of competency to operate motorized pleasure craft after September 15 2009.

Proof of competency can take one of three different forms:
a Pleasure Craft Operator Card;
proof, such as a course certificate, that you have successfully completed a boating safety course in Canada before April 1, 1999;
or a completed rental boat ••safety checklist.

Taken straight out of the boating guide from the office of boating safety.
The rental safety checklist has you answer 16 questions like you know how to turn off the craft, dont drink while operating craft, right of way to unpowered craft.

Some rental companys are asking for operators license but they dont need to.
