howdy guys! I tried the search function but have no idea what to type to find this out. Figure it would be much faster to ask here than phone the CFC.

So, if I have a hunting license from NB, can I buy a varmint license in lets say Ontario to hunt birds? Or would I have to go take a hunting class in that specific province?

For some reason I have the impression hunting licenses are good all over Canada except Quebec. But if you got your hunting license in Quebec, you're good to go anywhere.

Thanks! (hope this isn't a 100th repost)

Cheers,
Paul
 
Hunting licenses are province specific and are not federally regulated, except the migratory game bird portion but you still need a game bird license from the province you intend to hunt in, in addition.
Also, the CFC has nothing to do with hunting. Environment Canada is the federal body and each province has its own game department.

hey thanks for the quick reply! But my friend specifically just wants to go grouse hunting in ontario (he's there for school) and has an NB license. So will he have to take a hunting course in Ontario? Sorry if you have basically just answered my question and am too retarded to notice lol

cheers
 
Some of the provinces will accept a hunting license from one province as proof of having taken a hunter safety course,in the other and will issue a licence but that may vary from province to province. I know Alberta accepted a license from quebec and issued one for Alberta with out a course as did BC.The others I don't know.

YES! I mean he has his hunters safety course from NB. Has had it for years. I'm wondering if he can go out and buy a varmint license to hunt grouse in ON!

MB accepts Hunter's Safety from all other provinces and countries. I can't speak 100% for Ontario, but a quick look at the online regs should give an answer. I would assume he's good to go, just keep in mind he's probably still considered a non resident, depending how long he's been living in ON.
