Canadian licence info

[spoonfed-1]

We ordered our Can. licence last week and they came in the mail today.

In addition to the licence fee there was 2 $9.00 charges for an outdoor card. The card is a pink piece of paper that you MUST carry with your licence. It says before years end a plastic card will be sent to you. I guess from what I read it's good for three years.

Just a heads up on what to expect.

Erin-

Just to clerify what document will be required for your return trip to the U.S.

For now in order to be WHTI compliant at crossing the border you will need proof of citizenship (such as a birth certificate) and a form of gov't photo I.D.

Passports,passport card or enhanced drivers liscence will be required starting JUNE 1st to be WHTI compliant. You can find more inf. at CBP.GOV website. Hope this helps.

Here's a repost of the information I got from the Ontario MNR.

Over the weekend I heard that Ontario now requires an additional card besides you non-resident license.

True

All of the following are still available at the Ontario MNR toll free number as long as you call 5 weeks prior to your fish date and at most (1,800) license issuing locations. That toll free number (same number as in the past) is 800-667-1940.
