Frequently Asked Questions
How do I buy fishing licences for multiple provinces?
Each province has its own licensing system — you'll need to purchase separately through each provincial portal. Start with our Licence Checklist to see the exact steps for each province you plan to visit. Some provinces offer short-term licences (1-day, 3-day, 8-day) that are ideal for multi-province trips.
What's the best value for a cross-Canada fishing trip?
For the best value, look for provinces with low non-resident daily rates, and take advantage of free fishing days if your trip aligns with them. Short-term licences (1 or 3-day) are usually more cost-effective than annual licences for a multi-province itinerary.
Do I need Parks Canada permits in addition to provincial licences?
Yes — if you plan to fish in a national park (Banff, Jasper, etc.), you'll need a separate Parks Canada fishing permit ($15.00/day or $51.25/annual) in addition to the provincial licence. This applies to all national parks managed by Parks Canada.
