Canadian Boating & Fishing License Requirements
(non-residents)
If you are 18 years and older
You will need a valid licence before you can start fishing. This licence includes two parts:
- an Outdoors Card (a plastic ID card, valid for three calendar years)
- a fishing licence (valid for either one or three calendar years)
A fishing licence can be for either:
- conservation (reduced catch limits)
- sport (normal catch limits)
Two types of fishing licences are available:
- Sport fishing licence, which includes full catch-and-possession fishing privileges
- Conservation fishing licence, which includes reduced catch-and-possession limits. This is ideal for anglers who want to release the majority of fish they catch.
Fishing licences are available for different durations, including:
- one day
- eight days
- one year
- three years
You can buy your fishing licence online and save it in a digital format (for example, on your smartphone), print it from home, or print it through a participating ServiceOntario or licence issuer location.
You must follow catch and possession limits.

TBF NATIONAL SEMI FINALS CONTINGENCY AWARDS INFO. FOR BFL ALL-AMERICAN AND FOR RANGER CUP!
We don’t want any TBF angler to miss out on any contingency award!
BFL All-American Advancement from the Federation Championship / FLW Competitor Membership Contingency – PLEASE READ ALL CAREFULLY – Just like any other contingency prize (think Ranger cup or a Big Fish pot, etc.) You need to be a part of the group BEFORE you attempt to qualify. SO, under the new program with MLF/FLW IF you wish to advance to the BFL All-American (14 anglers = top boater and top co-co-angler from each division) from spring 2021 TBF Federation National Championship, you MUST upgrade to a FLW competitor membership directly with FLW BEFORE you fish the National Semi Finals, it cannot be done even 1 day after the National Semi Final event. Period. It is a contingency just like any other you MUST be in before you attempt to qualify
IT IS NOT REQUIRED, to fish any TBF event, getting into a big bass pot is not required but if your not in it you cannot win advancement to the 2021 BFL All-American SHOULD you be the one(1) to win your division at the spring 2021 TBF Federation National Championship.
HERE IS HOW – First off with a National TBF membership we provide through our partnership with FLW a Subscriber membership to every TBF member. For 99% of the federation members that takes care of fishing everything TBF!
As previously widely published when MLF acquired FLW changes were made to the program and a FLW competitor membership (required to fish a FLW event NOT a TBF event) was separated out at a cost of $60 annually to be a FLW as a competitor member to everyone in the nation. HOWEVER, since a TBF membership already gains you a FLW subscriber membership all TBF member who choose to fish a FLW event only OR want to be eligible to advance from the TBF Federation Championship only needs to upgrade to a FLW Competitor level membership DIRECTLY WITH FLW if they desire too at the guaranteed lowest price of $48.50 all you have to do is tell them you are TBF member. Has NOTHING to do with being able to fishing a TBF event like the national semi-final or the Federation National Championship)
To upgrade if YOU want to be eligible: Simply call FLW directly, BEFORE you fish a TBF National Semi final TELL them YOU ARE A TBF MEMBER, as a TBF member you are already a subscriber member therefore TBF members get the guaranteed lowest price in the nation for a FLW competitor membership, instead of $60 it is only $48.50 to TBF members since we have already taken care of the subscriber membership and this is a upgrade. That it. If you don’t care about advancement from the spring 2021 TBF Federation National Championship to a FLW event then you don’t need to do anything. IF you need help just call the office. Thanks all! MORE below.
