I bought a fishing licence online last year. The receipt printed but the licence didn't. I thought that a plasticized version of the license would follow in the mail but no.
Now this is just the license, not the Outdoor Card.
So the idea is that you carry a full size piece paper in a water environment.
I called the MNR help line and was told they couldn't help and I'd have to go to Service Ontario. Went to Service Ontario and they said I'd have to go to an license issuer.
I went to a license issuer and they couldn't print me a copy because the MNR charges them for everything they print so I'd have to by a new license.
I decided to fish with my receipt. Was checked by the MNR and was given a warning and told to get a license, a receipt won't work.
Called the MNR help line again and this time the woman said no problem. Apparently, there was a fault with the system that wasn't allowing licenses to be printed, just the receipt.
They sent me a plasticized copy but they also told me that normally I would have just had the paper copy for the year.
Now I just go to an issuer and get the plasticized license.
