How Canadian Residents
can Obtain Their Outdoors Card
* Please note that the following
information was obtained from the MNR website (http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/) *
Ontario Residents are required to obtain an Outdoors
Card before they purchase fishing and hunting licenses. Canadian Residents
from outside Ontario may obtain an Outdoors Card and purchase Ontario Resident
fishing licenses instead of purchasing a non-resident fishing license.
