Acquiring a Ontario Fishing License
A licence to fish in Ontario consists of an Ontario Outdoors Card plus a Ontario fishing licence tag (either affixed to the card or accompanying the card). Here is a quick overview of the basics for Ontario residents, Canadian residents, and non-Canadian residents.
Please note: Ogoki Frontier has Ontario fishing licenses for sale at the base camp and will assist you to do all the paperwork. To find out more information or costs call or email the Ogoki Frontier base camp.
Non-Canadian Residents
Non-Canadian residents need an Outdoors Card to fish in Ontario if they are 18 years of age and over. ( NOTE: Non-residents 65 years of age or older are not exempt from requiring a licence). The sport fishing licence tag (one year or eight day) or the conservation ontario fishing licence tag (one year or eight day) accompanies the plastic Ontario Outdoors Card.
If you have never had an Ontario Outdoors Card, you can purchase a "Non-Canadian Resident Temporary Fishing Outdoors Card and Application" from Ogoki Frontier base camp. The Non-Canadian Resident Temporary Fishing Outdoors Card and Application does not include the fishing licence tag. The Ontario fishing licence tag will be a separate paper permit.
The temporary Outdoors Card and paper licence are effective immediately. Your plastic Ontario Outdoors Card will be mailed to you by year end, and is valid for three calendar years (including the year of purchase).
Non-Canadian resident hunters can also fish under the authority of their Outdoor Card (fishing/hunting version) with the appropriate Ontario fishing licence tag.
You can also get more information on the Outdoors Card by calling the Outdoors Card Centre at 1-800-387-7011 . This toll-free number works from all of North America, from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).
