There is no single Canada-wide price. For 2026, Ontario charges non-Canadian residents $54.38 for an eight-day sport fishing licence or $31.52 for an eight-day conservation licence. British Columbia’s basic eight-day freshwater licence costs $41.15 for non-residents and $57.14 for non-resident aliens. These are provincial prices for different licence products—not a national rate.
Eight-day fishing licence prices by province
Licence fees depend on where you fish and how that province classifies your residency. The table compares the listed short-term options; Québec and Alberta list seven-day licences, not eight-day ones.
| Jurisdiction | Licence and residency category | Published fee | Duration and notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ontario | Sport fishing, non-Canadian resident | $54.38 | Eight consecutive calendar days; 2026 fee table. |
| Ontario | Conservation fishing, non-Canadian resident | $31.52 | Eight consecutive calendar days; separate licence category. |
| British Columbia | Basic freshwater, non-resident | $41.15 | Eight days; additional stamps or licences may apply to particular species or waters. |
| British Columbia | Basic freshwater, non-resident alien | $57.14 | Eight days; additional stamps or licences may apply to particular species or waters. |
| Québec | Sport fishing except Atlantic salmon, non-resident | $57.67 | Seven consecutive days, not eight. |
| Alberta | Sportfishing, non-resident Canadian | $43 | Seven days, not eight; 2026 guide. |
| Alberta | Sportfishing, non-resident outside Canada | $57 | Seven days, not eight; 2026 guide. |
Ontario’s fees are from its 2026 recreational licence fee table, updated August 4, 2026. British Columbia’s amounts appear on its freshwater licence page, last updated April 27, 2026. Québec’s seven-day fee is on its licence page, last updated March 14, 2025. Alberta’s seven-day figures are from the 2026 Alberta Guide to Sportfishing Regulations; confirm current fees through Alberta’s official channel.
What changes the price you pay?
- Province and water type: Licences are jurisdiction-specific, and freshwater and tidal fishing may have different requirements.
- Residency classification: Categories may distinguish residents, non-resident Canadians, non-residents outside Canada, or non-resident aliens. Do not assume a price for one category applies to another.
- Licence type: Ontario’s sport and conservation licences are separate products with different fees.
- Duration: Check how many days the licence covers and how validity is counted. A seven-day permit is not an eight-day permit.
- Species and location: Some waters or catches require extra stamps, surcharges, or licences, so a base fee may not be the full cost.
Ontario: how the eight-day licence works
Ontario’s eight-day licence covers eight consecutive calendar days, with each calendar day beginning at midnight. Non-Canadian residents can buy it online and carry the licence summary digitally or as a printout. See the province’s non-resident licensing and fishing guidance, updated December 31, 2025.
