Okay now I'm confused.  Smiley

I have an expired 3yr old card with no stickers on it and no obvious place set aside to put any. Corner right of the back has what I assume is the manufacture date 04/09. The back does specifically state "Do not affix license tags to this card" --- Mine is not valid for hunting if that matters.

FWIW  --  The last two digits of my ID# (separated by a space) is 11 and that's right under where is says expiration date which makes sense if it's not just coincidence.

Fishen's hard!    Grin

Yes, you have to get a new piece of plastic. And yes, the plastic is different for fishing + hunting vs just fishing. Probably the reason they don't allow stickers is to prevent people from putting a hunting sticker on a fishing card by mistake, and voiding the card.

The "11" on your card is not part of the identification number. So I think my card was the 708,158,127,412,980th card to be issued, not the 70,815,812,741,298,012th - that would be ridiculous.

I also think you Americans just come up here for the express purpose of causing trouble  Grin

Who US? Naah.

So that 11 on mine is coincidence? Honestly no clue. Seemed reasonable to me.

Hey, how can we skirt your whacky rules until we fully understand 'em.  Grin

In a way it's too bad on the new card thing. If it's required and swipeable I don't understand the need. I thought that sort of automatic record keeping was part of the point to begin with.

But my card does have an expiry date ... on the front. Printed on the card in tiny white letters on the right hand side, starting at the gill on the fish drawing, it says "Expires Dec 31 / Expire le 31 dec". Under that, embossed in gold letters is a big "12", meaning my card expires at the end of 2012.


DOH!  Embarrassed  Thumbs Upup

Understanding Canadian rules is simple.
1. If it's fun, tax it.
2. If it's sinful, tax it.
3. If it's fun AND sinful, tax it twice.

Fishing comes under category #3, so you need an outdoors card AND a fishing licence, and whenever the government asks you for more money, you have to give it to them.
