License Info - Ontario Canada Goose Hunts

To hunt Canada geese in Ontario, you require the following:

1. A Federal Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit ($8.50) and a Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp ($8.50). Essentially they are one document and are only available from Canada Post offices and postal outlets (total cost of $17). Once purchased, the permit and stamp are valid anywhere in Canada, however each province stipulates the daily harvest and possession limits of waterfowl species.
2. A non-resident Ontario hunting license.  Licenses can be purchased from select retail stores such as Canadian Tire and Wal-Mart in Ontario as well as some large outdoor stores and hunting outfitters for a cost of $87.50. Note that licenses cannot be purchased over the Internet.

Important: To purchase a non-resident Ontario hunting license, non-resident applicants must provide documentation indicating he/she would be authorized to purchase a hunting license in their home jurisdiction. A current hunting license for your jurisdiction is an example of a suitable documentation. For more information, call the OMNR toll-free at 1-800-667-1940.

Retriever Policy - Ontario Canada Goose Hunts

Properly trained retrievers are always welcome, but they must be well managed so as not to negatively impact the hunting.

Bird Processing - Ontario Canada Goose Hunts

Bird Cleaning is included in the cost of the Ontario Canada Goose Hunt package. 

Birds may be breasted or picked. We strongly suggest bringing ice chests large enough to ensure proper care and transport of birds. 

USFWS statutes regarding transportation of migratory game birds are carefully followed: 

• All sport-taken migratory birds imported into the US via Canada must have 1 fully feathered wing attached to the carcass (Head and Feet do not count).  No other types or forms of migratory birds will be allowed into the US, no sausage or processed meat.
• All imports into the US of sport-taken migratory birds may only be imported by the person who hunted them. A hunter cannot give the birds to another person to take into the US on their behalf.
• Birds, geese, or cranes intended for taxidermy can only be imported into the US when accompanied by a US migratory bird import/export permit.
• All illegal birds and/or meat is subject to seizure and fines.
