Non-residents
I live
outside of Canada. Do I need a license to fish in Ontario?
Anyone who lives outside of Canada is considered a non-resident for the purposes
of fishing license
regulations. Most non-residents need a fishing license to
fish in Ontario. Specifically:
Non-residents 18 years of age and over must purchase a fishing license.
Non-residents under 18 years of age may fish without a license if accompanied by
a adult who has
a recreational fishing license. Any fish caught are part of the
catch and possession limit of the adult
who holds the license. As another
option, non-residents under 18 years may purchase a license and
any fish caught
apply to the catch and possession limits of that license.
Non-residents 65 years of age or older are not exempt from licensing.
For non-resident groups of children (at least five people under the age of 18
years accompanied by a
licensed adult) there is a special License for Members of
an Organized Camp. This license is
available from Ministry
of Natural Resources offices.
Where can I
purchase a non-resident fishing license?
Non-resident anglers may purchase a fishing license that is effective
immediately at more than 2,000
locations throughout the province. Licenses are
often available from tourist outfitters' camps and lodges,
summer camps, and
sporting goods stores or bait dealers. In smaller communities, they may be
available
at general stores or other retail establishments. A range
of licenses is offered to suit individual needs.
Non-resident fishing licenses are also available through the mail by calling the
Ontario Ministry
of Natural Resources at 1-800-667-1940.
