Non Resident Outdoor Card

The New Outdoor Card

for

NON-RESIDENT

ANGLERS AND HUNTERS

Effective Jan 1st 2009 Non Residents that wish fish or hunt in Ontario will have to apply for an Outdoors Card, this requirement has been in place for Canadian residents for many years.

The new card will cost $9.00 and is valid for three years and is part of the implementation for the new requirements for a new automated licensing system that comes into effect in 2010. These requirements will enhance your ability to replace lost hunting of fishing licences.

Hunters will only have to show their Hunter Accreditation Certificate once, instead of each time they purchase a hunting licence.

When the application for the Outdoors card is completed, the Outdoors Card will be mailed to the purchaser's home address, the card cost is $9.00.

If you are a non-resident of Canada, your basic licence form must be signed and have the appropriate licence tag attached to it to be valid.

The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) is working on a project to improve the fishing and hunting licensing system. Once these improvements are complete, anglers and hunters will be able to purchase Ontario fishing and hunting licences from home, using the Internet or the automated toll-free phone system. As part of this project, MNR will also be developing an automated licensing system for licence issuers to improve service to anglers and hunters.
The automated system will mean that all anglers and hunters will need a unique identification number. That is why MNR will be extending the requirement to have an Outdoors Card to non-resident anglers and hunters, effective January 1, 2009. The Outdoors Card will be required to purchase an Ontario fishing or hunting licence, except for a one-day fishing licence.
Non-resident anglers and hunters will be able to purchase their initial Outdoors Card by filling out an application at any ServiceOntario office or Ontario fishing and hunting licence issuer. There are over 1,800 licence issuers located throughout the province.
The paper application will serve as a temporary Outdoors Card until the permanent card is received in the mail.
