Buying Fishing and Hunting Licences

January 17, 2012

There are new ways to get your Ontario fishing and hunting licences. You can go online and print your own licence, call MNR's interactive phone line or get your licence over the counter at selected ServiceOntario centres or private issuers.

MNR is having some implementation challenges with the new system. You may experience some temporary delays during the transition period. We apologize for the inconvenience.
