No -
only what is listed in CAR 206.
Commercial purposes and commercial operations can be different things.
E.g. a DAME owns an aircraft and flys himself from place to place to do aviation medicals. The purpose is clearly commercial, but is not listed in CAR 206 so an AOC is not required.
It is a private operation according to CAR 2(7)(d) so he can do it with a PPL.
However CAR 206 prevents him from selling the spare seats without an AOC.
