Fishing Licence Information for Residents of Ontario and Canada

What types of fishing licence tags are available to residents of Ontario and Canada?

There are four licence tags offered to Ontario residents and Canadian residents, for the back of the Outdoors Card:

• three-year Resident Sport Fishing Licence Tag
• three-year Resident Conservation Fishing Licence Tag
• one-year Resident Sport Fishing Licence Tag
• one-year Resident Conservation Fishing Licence Tag
  

(E-licences, with instant fishing privileges, are also available for use with your Outdoors Card).

Purchasing a three-year fishing licence tag is the easiest way to maintain your fishing privileges for the term of your Outdoors Card. The three-year fishing licence tag is available:

• when renewing your Outdoors Card using the toll-free renewal line (1-800-288-1155) and a Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit card
• when renewing your Outdoors Card over the Internet with a Visa or MasterCard
• when renewing your Outdoors Card with the pre-printed renewal application automatically sent to Outdoors Card holders when their card is about to expire
• when applying for your Outdoors Card with a paper application obtained from the Outdoors Card Centre (1-800-387-7011).
  

NOTE : this three year licence option does not apply to the "Resident Sport Fishing Licence and Outdoors Card Application" or the "Resident Conservation Licence and Outdoors Card Application", as these are one-year options only.

The one-year fishing licence tag is also available to the holder of an Outdoors Card. One-year tags expire on December 31 of the year for which they are valid. To maintain fishing privileges in the following year, the angler must purchase another one-year licence tag from a licence issuer.
