New handicap system?

Old post, but here in Canada to get an official handicap you need to be a member of Golf Canada, typically through a club or via one of the Public Player programs.

Once you are a member the Golf Canada app allows hole by hole score entry.

I agree with you, but I think the original question was more along the lines of how you could keep an accurate (though unofficial) handicap without being a member of Golf Canada.

I know that a long time ago (under previous ownership) this site actually tried to set up such a system (yes, I'm that old!). It was not easy and eventually abandoned, and I have no issues with either the previous or current management of this site with that decision. But I'm pretty sure that there are other sites out there offer this service in some form. Having been a member of a Golf Canada course for several years, I've have not kept up-to-date on this issue, but I'm sure that with a little internet research a suitable website can be found.

I doubt is any software company can provide an exact copy of WHS. There would probably be copyright issues but most significantly no one knows how the PCC calculation works.

Incidentally, England Golf has now introduced a scheme for non golf club members.
