FN0252-COMMERCIAL - Salmon: 2017/18 Licence Issuance Information


Requests for early 2017/2018 Salmon licence issuance for Schedule II and 
Transporting only may be submitted using the National Online Licensing System 
(NOLS) 

Licence eligibility holders may submit the required information via the 'Submit 
a Request' menu selection within the National Online Licensing System (NOLS). 
(Under 'Comments' please ensure your Salmon Commercial Licence Eligibility, 
VRN, and name of vessel is identified and request early licence issuance for 
Schedule II and Transporting) Full instructions are available at: 
http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/sdc-cps/products-produits/request-demande-
eng.htm).

Upon the Department receiving the request and information, fees will be 
uploaded to the licence Holders' NOLS account.  

Harvesters will use the National Online Licensing System (NOLS) to go online to 
view, pay for and print their commercial fishing licences, licence conditions, 
and/or receipts.

Schedule II and Transport Conditions do not authorize salmon fishing. Once the 
Conditions of Licence are available for each salmon fishery area all valid 
Commercial Salmon licences will be automatically replaced with the complete 
salmon conditions.  It is a condition of licence that the Licence document and 
conditions of licence are on-board while actively harvesting.

Please note that as the Conditions of Licence for each salmon fishery area 
become available, the licence renewal fee will be uploaded to the Licence 
Holders' NOLS account. 

Upon the Department receiving the required payment, applicable documentation 
and information, the licence will be issued and notification will be sent via 
email to advise Licence Holders/vessel owners that a change has been made to 
the licence holder's online account.  The licence documents, licence conditions 
and receipt will be available to be printed at that time.  

For communal commercial licences, even though the fees are $0.00, clients are 
required to add a checkmark beside the licence(s) to renew, and 
click "Checkout" through NOLS.   
For vessel designation, licence eligibility holders may submit the required 
information via the 'Submit a Request' menu selection within the National 
Online Licensing System (NOLS). Full instructions are available at: 
http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/sdc-cps/products-produits/request-demande-eng.htm
