Fishing Licence Headache

[Magikarp]

So after speaking with the the MNR first who directed me to the outdoor licensing people i was able to speak with someone who knew what to do. apparently they no longer mail stickers to people (because of costs). so basically when i wasn't able to load the page with the supposed pdf on it that was the licence. anyways now i am to go to a place that sells the licences and get a replacement printed. which will cost something like 10.75. then i have to cal back and they will give me refund for having it printed at canadian tire.


basically what I've learned is instead of emailing you the PDF with your licence on it or providing any form of a backup for your records or for when their site fails. its on you to pay more money and sit on hold for 25 minutes to hopefully get your money back. ALSO IF YOU LOSE YOUR E-LICENCE you simply go anywhere that has the ability to sell you a licence and they can go online confirm your details ( age date of birth address) and they can replace if for you then and there so thats a nice thing if your out and you lose your licence for some reason you can get a replacement that day ( for a fee though which i was told is 10.75 ) so as always the government works relatively well in some ways and horrible in others all in all at the end of the day we can still fish so at least we have that!
