Non-resident big game licences for bear, moose and caribou are available only through licenced outfitters. Interested hunters should contact the outfitter of their choice to determine the availability of licences and obtain the required application forms. Once an application has been submitted, the outfitter should be
contacted regarding all further information such as the status of the application.
Non-resident small game licences are available through numerous vendor outlets throughout the province. Migratory Game Bird Permits are available only through Canada Post Corporation offices. Remittance for big and small game licences should be in the form of bank draft or a Postal Money Order payable in Canadian funds.
