Who Can Certify A Log Book?
Does it have to be an instructor, or could it be done by another pilot?

Why does it have to be certified? I see people getting their books stamped everyone once in awhile and can't figure it out. No where in CAR's does it say that this has to be done. It mearly states that you shall keep a personal flight log. Anyways, just my two cents, maybe i'm wrong.

It wasn't all that long ago that logbooks did indeed have to be certified, no longer. The logbook is a personal document but in another of their Catch-22's that defy logic; TC require you to maintain them. Personally I haven't had my logbook certified in more than ten years. Nothing was, or can be, said even when I submitted them for my ATPL.
Excuse me, but where in ANO's, Air Regs, CARS or the AIP was it EVER stated what a personal logbook had to look like or that normal flight hours had to be "Certified" by ANYONE...ANYWHERE? Please state the document and section please.......or what authority stated so and which office they worked from. I would like to know for which years of my 43 years in aviation I have been breaking that "supposed" rule of DOT/MOT. If evidence can be produced then there are a lot of companies across Canada that have joined in breaking those rules and will be advised of same by yours truly.
I have hours flown for Endorsments, Types, Specialty Flying, Check-rides and Military flying (that was regulation there) all "Certified", but not ONE HOUR "Certified" for normal, everyday flying duties. I also have entries in Tech Logs, Journey Logs, Crew Position Reports, Expense Accounts and Ops Departments that will back that up........and now I supposedly missed something along the way?

Logbooks
I agree with the above - but if you want to work overseas ( yep its me again with the overseas stuff) you may find it very handy to go to TC before you leave the country and get them to stamp your logbook.
You see in some countries they will NOT issue a licence or validation without it. They will make you send your log book back home until you get it!! Let me stress that this is in my experience THIRD world countries.
I am only posting this here because I know a lot of guys and gals that read avcanada will go overseas for a short ( or long) stint at some time or other. If you want my actual opinion on this nonsense...........well I will leave that to your imagination.
Have a great day woncha

Northern girl ------Totally agreed with ......been there done that. In the 3rd world most of everything else can be encouraged or speeded-up in "other ways". Example: In Zaire filing a Flight Plan would take 1 week for clearance.......slide $20 USD under the Flight Report as you handed it in and you had instant approval. Aircraft part held up at Customs or Broker's?........$50 USD and it's "here let me hold the door open for you while you carry that out"......otherwise wait a month for clearance. 
It has been my experience that sadly, in many parts of the world, a Canadian issued License is one step better than toilet paper. I also have an FAA License and it carries me a lot farther than my Canuck license that I consider just as valid. That's anothe discussion subject though.
........and you can talk about overseas all you wish because it doesn't "rankle me" one iota......so have'ater.
In these days of aviation it's all "Have Gun, Will travel"anyway.
