canada license

[Buc-Eye]

I get a annual Ontario license every year online. The only thing they mail to you is your green outdoors card, when needed, which is good for I think 4 years. The license is printed on the spot. It even prompts you to test your printer before buying the license. Then the sale is saved to your computer in a pdf file. Search your C:drive for it. I'm sure its in your downloads folder. I like to print two copies, 1 for the boat glove box, and 1 for wallet.

I also take a screenshot of mine with my phone....

Might be able to apply for a lost license, just maybe. Mike

The site says if it is your first time purchasing the outdoor card....both will also be mailed to you.

I'm trying to figure out if we need a passport also....I've read different answers.

Your outdoor card will be mailed to you but you can print out your license once you complete the app. and pay. I save mine on the computer as a PDF and can print another one if one is lost or destroyed. Regardless what you hear from anyone out there. You do not, I repeat do not need a Passport to fish or cruise in Canadian waters of Lake Erie. You need a passport to step on shore in Canada but not to fish or boat on their waters. You must call in and answer their questions and you must write down the number they give you so if are your boarded you have proof you checked in. I spend a lot of time fishing over there and have never had an issue. Other than answering my cell phone over there and getting hit with international roaming charge. I turn my phone off now whenever I am crossing the border.

Thanks for the info. How difficult is it to do the call in, any problems getting through and how far in advance to you do it? And yes the international rates on cell calls suck! I get hit a lot while I'm even close to the border!
