Anyone know if I need a liscence(because of the CRTC...) to start web hosting business in Canada??

The answer is no. The CRTC has nothing to do with licensing when it comes to Internet hosts.

All you need to legally operate a hosting business in Canada is a business license and you need to claim the appropriate taxes.

The CRTC is responsible for broadcasting regulations such as TV and radio.

As everyone has said: not at all, but good luck finding cheap bandwidth (unless you mean just operating a business from Canada).
