CAR 174D para 19.2 of AIP ENR 1.1 (flight under VFR) and CAO 20.18 appendix !V
VFR pilots must either obtain a visual fix at least every 30 minutes, which makes VFR flight above 3/8 to 4/8 cloud impractical, or obtain a positive fix every 2 hours from navaids if operating above more than SCT cloud. To do this your aircraft must be approved for NVFR/ IFR operations and the pilot must be qualified to use the appropriate navaids.
The fact is, anyone flying any aircraft that is not qualified to use the navaids installed, except to supplement visual navigation is breaking the law. This in particular applies to persons flying VFR on top. So in this case tell me how can you fly 1 nm to the right of track if you are not qualified to use the navaids,
Nothing you have posted absolves the pilot from the legal requirements.
