Fishery Notice

2019/2020 Geoduck and Horseclam by Dive is now available for payment in the 
Pacific Region through the National Online Licensing System (NOLS). 

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

The associated 2019 quota amendment will be accessible in vessel owners' NOLS 
account and must be attached to the licence document and be on board the vessel 
when actively harvesting.

A reminder that all licence renewal fee payments must be made through the 
NOLS.  

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.    

Where a designated vessel is required, 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).

To avoid delays, please ensure the payment, and designated vessel information 
is submitted to DFO at the same time.  

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.
