Fishery Notice

2025 Sea Cucumber by Dive licence issuance is now available 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, commercial harvest plan, and/or receipts.

For vessel designation, licence eligibility holders must submit the required information via the 'Submit a Request' menu selection within the National Online Licensing System (NOLS). Full instructions are available at: 
https://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fisheries-peches/sdc-cps/products-produits/user-manual-utilisateurs-sec2-eng.html#toc2.5 

A reminder that all licence renewal fee payments, and vessel designations must be made through the NOLS.  

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, and vessel designation information, the licence will be issued and notification will be sent via email to advise Licence Holders that a change has been made to the licence holder's online account. The licence documents, conditions of licence and receipt will be available to be printed at that time.
