Auguste, since you are outside the U.S.
From the boatus website:
What is the difference between obtaining an MMSI from the FCC and obtaining a number from BoatUS?
"BoatUS MMSI numbers are coded for recreational vessels cruising in U.S. waters only not otherwise required to be licensed; the registrations are downloaded into the U.S. Coast Guard Search & Rescue Database (MISLE) only. FCC-assigned MMSI numbers are coded for International Waters and go into the International Search & Rescue Database (ITU). In order to be accepted into the ITU database, any FCC assigned MMSI must end in zero. This is why the BoatUS MMSI number cannot be re-used when later applying for an FCC License for international cruising."

I don't know where you boat, but since you are in Canada you might want to look into this.
