Fishing and Hunting Licence Finder

Pick your province or territory and the activity, and see the official licensing page for that jurisdiction — plus the live guide where one exists. This finder adds no new facts: it routes you to the official page. It states no fees, seasons, or limits. The official page governs if anything here differs.

Fishing and hunting licences are provincial and territorial. The system, the card, and the rules change at the border.

Ontario is the only jurisdiction with a live guide on this site for either activity. Everywhere else, the result is the official licensing page.

Your official licensing page

Every result links to the official licensing page opened at build time, and to the live guide where one exists. Read the official page before you buy anything. The official page is the authority.

How the routing works (official pages, opened at build time)

Guides. This site has two guides: how to get a fishing licence in Ontario, and how to get a hunting licence in Ontario. Both are linked from the Ontario results. No other province or territory has a fishing or hunting guide on this site, and the results for those jurisdictions link only the official page.

Official pages. Each result links the official licensing page for the jurisdiction and activity, opened at build time: Ontario's outdoors card and licence summary page; British Columbia's WILD system page; Alberta's fishing and hunting licence pages on AlbertaRELM; Saskatchewan's angling licence page, which names the Hunting, Angling and Trapping Licence (HAL) system used for hunting licences too; Manitoba's e-licensing frequently asked questions page; Quebec's sport fishing licence and hunting licence purchase pages; New Brunswick's hunting and fishing hub; Nova Scotia's general fishing licence page and the Hunt NS online service; Prince Edward Island's online angling and hunting licence pages; Newfoundland and Labrador's wildlife permits and licences page; Yukon's fishing and hunting licence pages; the Northwest Territories hunting licence page for residents, and the 2024–25 sport fishing regulations guide for fishing; and Nunavut's 2026–27 hunting regulations summary and sport fishing guide.

Sources: the official pages named above, each opened at build time. No fee, season, or limit is stated on this page: where a figure matters, the official page states it.
