hawk-eye Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Similar problem here, just havnt made the phone call yet. A friend of myne bought his licence last June (this is the first time for him) still have not recived the card. Now he wants to renew but where to you put the sticker? Hes gonna make the call soon and by the sounds of it I should record the conversation.
BillM Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Did my renewal by phone, got the card in 3 weeks.
Twocoda Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) did mine through snail mail and received it 3 weeks later... years ago i didnt receive my card before they went on strike ...so i bought another license through CT to have something to produce and actually got charged for having two licenses...they dropped the charge but didnt refund my money for the second license Edited March 18, 2011 by Twocoda
aplumma Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 I presented a check made to ART MELANCON at my bank the new teller did not know me so she asked for my License to confirm the name. She said she could not cash it because it was made out to ART and my license said ARTHUR. She had been instructed to not cash checks made out to nick names. Sigh.....We had a discussion about the difference between nicknames and first names. It took the teller next to her to pull her aside and assure her it was O.K. to cash mt check. It is a good thing she did not see my Driving Record it has an alias on it McLancon due to a bad E somewhere in the records. Got to love the system. Art
bigugli Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 now that was funny I guess the summer students have already started... Summer student's nothing. That is the province's standard level of bureaucratic competence
dhickey Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) checked again today. still not here? what do i do with this???? Edited March 19, 2011 by saltydawg
vinnimon Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 I called the 1 800 # today and asked if mine has been sent out. She only asked for the licence # and NO the card wasnt issued yet. Because I purchased it at a local bait shop. She assured me that within a month they will receive it and issue it. They are dealing with the direct purchases so far. She was very Kind and quick to respond with all my questions Know to call the MNR as see if my licence# is registered to my name for 2011
Handlebarz Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Well thanks to this thread I have now started my waiting process I wonder if Mike Parker can get it before who ever Obanion or O'Banion or what ever they last came up with LOL. Heck I dont think I will need mine before you Rick but I do think they will get me hooked up first.
bubbles Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Online is the only way to go, print out the temp card and you are all set.
wildeye rainbow Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Now, I'm worried. I bought my renewal in early January at the local tackle store but haven't got my card yet. Will they have me down as Pete or Peter?? WR
spincast Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Wow, not surprising but disappointing - you're just lucky the supervisor hadn't been promoted yet, cause then the person you spoke with will no doubt gets his job for following the protocols so well. A perfect example of bureaucratic training. I can't imagine what would happen to Hubert if I had to call and ask; probably fry what few circuits he has - I go by my second name; and a contraction at that - Rick instead of Richard. My given name is a Welsh one, and man does that cause some confusion with North American pronounciation.. My drivers license is completely different than my outdoors card.
Billy Bob Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 My drivers license is completely different than my outdoors card. Sounds like if caught you will be on the deportation list...
Oggie Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Well that explains why I had trouble renewing on line. My last name has a "'" in it! It's a conspiracy against the Irish I tell you! I think the first request I'll make when I call will be, " Can I speak to your supervisor please?". That ought'a cut the time for renewal in half. Funny story Rick.... uh Richard....uh Dick! Dan O.
Billy Bob Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 It's a conspiracy against the Irish I tell you! Yep......we've been slowly working on that for about 200 year now...and only now are we seeing the results....
spincast Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Sounds like if caught you will be on the deportation list... You could be right - any good fishing spots down your way?
Billy Bob Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 You could be right - any good fishing spots down your way? I think we are only accepting Mexicans at the present time...
RoyF Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 I guess us french people get off easy.. Bought my card at lebaron last year and everythign went well. This year I renewed right at the Sportsman show, and am good for another year. I guess we'll see when it is time for a new card again. Roy
goteeboy Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Tomato or to-mah-to? Potato or Po-tah-to?
dhickey Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 FINELY got it took 3 times but i got it! a little like fishing for the big one eh?
bigfish1965 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Posted March 29, 2011 I received my card today...my name has NO apostrophe..lol. Sigh...
fishindevil Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 sounds like an everyday call to the good ole government rick !!! had many of those myself,specially with bell....thanks for the laugh....cheers
irishfield Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 LOL Rick.. what were our ancestors thinking when they did that damn "son of" apostrophe... Hopefully your never there, nor have to put up with it.. but Jen's a daily nightmare. Scans in TGeneral her name has the apostrophe.. Sinai has her with NO apostrophe.. OHIP card has one. They misplace her files/scans on a per visit bases because of that darn "tick".
Fish4Eyes Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 Who cares if you got the card or not if you have the temporary one which should have the correct spelling of your name as you are the one that fills it out? As long as you pay thats all that matters to them in the end
