Hey guys I'm currently in the process of obtaining my PAL. I have one question, some one told me I need to notify the Ministy of Natural Resources when I get my license. Is this true? I have no intention of hunting (I used to hunt but now I prefer target shooting) I just want to improve my shooting skills when I'm on leave.

Thanks.
 
The MNR has no need to be notified if you have your PAL. If you upgrade your Hunting License to firearm from bow only or fishing only then they will probably want to see it now. This probably has to do with the H1 and H2 hunting card differences.
 
As Flying_Finn said it has to do with the new H1, H2 hunting cards. They only need to know if you plan to hunt with a firearm.

Class H1 Outdoors Card – Residents

The H1 card permits the cardholder to hunt with all methods
permitted under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997.
Applicants for this version of Outdoors Card will have to
provide documentation that they have passed both the Ontario
Hunter Education Course exam and the Canadian Firearms
Safety Course exam. These courses are normally delivered in
a “One-Stop” combined course; however, both courses are
available independently if desired. “One-Stop” graduates will
meet provincial training requirements to hunt with a gun or
bowhunting equipment and the federal training requirements
for firearm possession, acquisition and ownership.
Any person with a hunting version of an Ontario Outdoors
Card, Ontario Hunting Licence or Hunter Education Exam
Report indicating a pass issued after January 1, 1968, and before
January 1, 2006, will be eligible for the H1 Outdoors Card.

Class H2 Outdoors Card – Residents Only

The H2 card permits the cardholder to hunt with all
methods permitted under the Act except guns. Applicants
for this version of the Outdoors Card will have to provide
documentation that they have passed the Ontario Hunter
Education Course exam.
 
Yeah I was pretty sure I didn't need to show them anything unless it was for hunting, but I figured I should ask the experts. Thanks for the quick response guys!
