I just completed my Hunting course last weekend. I passed :p. I already have an Outdoors card for fishing. Do I have to go in person to a service Ontario or MNR office to get the card changed over? Or can I do this over the phone? Or mail it in instead? Are there any options here? I am getting just a basic Small Games licence for now combined with the already owned fishing licence I already have. Thanks for any info. I dont want to pay for parking near the MNR local office.
 
I went into the Service office and they had all the information about my courses on file electronically, they just needed me to say I wanted the hunters version of the card. I bet you could do it over the phone. The small game tag can be purchased at most places that sell fishing licences ( bait shops, Canadian tires, etc.)... They might even sell it to you over the phone too. you never know.

You could try it remotely but it seemed that I had to go there. The outdoor card for Hunting/Fishing is different & requires a photo to be taken. I went there and it took about 7 minutes & a bunch of money. They will make you pay for next year and then offer a temp for the remainder of this year.
 
Oh I just read your entire post now. You don't have to go to the MNR office. Just got to a service canada office and they can get you a license. I think some of them are in malls and such.
