Outdoors Card & Licence Renewal

[Fisherman]

The on line system is up and working, don't forget to print it off and carry with you, only 3 1/2 weeks until old cards expire.

[Cosmos]

Thank you - i just renewed mine.

[crappieperchhunter]

Thanks for the heads up. Just finished renewing mine.

[akaShag]

as of TODAY!  Before today you could not renew the OC or buy your small game licences.  Which is freakin' RIDICULOUS.  Like HELLO!!!!!  WHY can't their system let me renew my card a month before it expires?

grumble, grumble, grumble...............

[Fisherman]

The shorter the renewal period, the more likely they will catch someone that forgot.

Do you need an outdoors card to fish if you are over 65 and don't need a license.

No you don’t just a government photo id 

[BillM]

Good call, just renewed online.  We'll see how long it takes the new card to show up.

[BITEME]

Did you know that your cards and such are processed in the US……

[Fisherman]

Yes, have been for quite a number of years, another brain dead government move.

[BITEME]

I haven’t got an issue with it well ya maybe I do it really should be taken care of in house

i would like to think their are people smart enough to program that in house

[Dara]

Subbing out to cheapest contractor I guess. Service Ontario wanted too much.

You know, having to pay decent wages and benefits they can't compete with Americans

There are a number of companies capable of issuing cards here in the GTA. Priced themselves out of contention?

It is the entire licencing system that Ontario offshored.  Purchasing printing and mailing the OC but also purchasing and issuing the tags, etc etc.

But the skeptic in me thinks the Ontario government of the day probably had a POLITICAL reason for this decision..........

[Rizzo]

thanks for the reminder! I miss the old days when they would send you a renewal package as a reminder

[crappieperchhunter]

Ordered my card Dec 6th and it showed up in my mailbox today. Bring on the ice 👍

[Fisherman]

Well, time to check the mailbox, that's pretty fast.

[Terry]

Perhaps, but there are almost no front line MNR officers in the field, sadly.
