FN0505-COMMERCIAL - Salmon: Troll - Area F - 2025 Licence Issuance Information


2025/2026 Salmon by Troll licence issuance for Area F is now available through the National Online Licensing System (NOLS).

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

In accordance with the Service Fees Act, annual licence renewal fees will be adjusted by the annual rate of inflation determined by Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by Statistics Canada.

2025/2026 commercial licence renewal fees can be found at:https://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/licence-permis/fees-frais-eng.html

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 vessel owners/licence eligibility holders that a change has been made to the vessel/licence holder's NOLS account.  The licence documents, conditions of licence and receipt will be available to be printed at that time.

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 vessel owner/licence holders' NOLS account.

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:
