card renewal

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

card renewal

Post by Paya »

First, I would like to wish happy new year to everyone !!

Does anyone have experience with card renewing on :http://outdoorscard.mnr.gov.on.ca/ ?
I wonder if I renew from the web site can I can print off a temp fishing permit until new card arrives via mail ?

thanks

I have used the online renewal for the past few years but seeing some of the fines that have been handed out personally i'd wait until you have the new card in your hand before risking it. The chances are if you do get checked the co would give you a break but if he's having a bad day expect a $130 fine :roll:

Sorry John;
but you are wrong my man. The printed pay stub
off the Net is good enough until your card comes in the mail.

Fishchaser is correct. As long as you have the temporary printed E-Licience + your expired Outdoors Card, it's as legal as the real thing.

I still haven't recieved mine. :? I also called them to ensure my T will appear on the new card (for turkey licience). They assured me it will.....wanna place bets?

John, you can print a reciept and also an E-licence. It states it right on the E-Licence.

Well that's good to know.. no one wants to get a fine for something so trivial.

yep, know what's yah saying, John. I got a fine this year for not having my address on the outdoors card changed. quiet hefty too I might add.
$255.00 dollars , took them to court and it was reduced to $145.00 but still alot of $$$ for nothing.

I got mine at a kiosk in Place D'Orleans (it looks like a banking machine). It prints off a receipt and says that it is good with your expired card for 30 days. If you live in the east end of Ottawa I highly recommend it. I am sure there are other similar kiosks in malls throughout major cities in Ontario.

My card does not expire till the end of 2005, but I just wanted to renew my fishing license. The machine at Place didn't like it.
Does that machine only work to get a "new" outdoors card, or can I get JUST a license renewal?

thanks
