Latest from the DFO online licencing system website....Electronic licenses no longer sufficient for non-residents fishing for Hali in Area 121, they need paper licences purchased in person at a Canadian Outlet.
This is from the Fisheries website:
"Important Note Regarding Fishing for Halibut:
No person who is not a Canadian resident may fish for or retain halibut under an electronic licence in management area 121, as described in Schedule II of the Pacific Fishery Management Area Regulations. If you are a non-resident and wish to fish for halibut in management area 121 you must purchase a paper license from a vendor in Canada. Refunds will not be issued, so please ensure your licence selection is correct before you complete your transaction."
