You can also choose one of these options to purchase your waterfowl permit:
- purchase an electronic permit
- purchase a permit from select Canada Post outlets
- purchase a permit through an independent vendor
When you purchase a permit electronically, you will have the option to order a physical stamp by mail for no additional charge by checking the appropriate box in the online form. However, the physical stamp is not required to validate a permit that you purchase electronically.
What you need to know
There are specific seasons for hunting ducks, geese, woodcock and other hunted species in Canada. The dates for hunting migratory game birds often vary across the country and within a province so it is important to check the dates of the open season in the area where you will be hunting. There are also specific regulations for the number of birds that you may harvest.
Each province in Canada also has a different set of daily limits for ducks and geese, which is set by the Canadian Wildlife Service. So, if you go to British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and so on, check the provincial game laws before hunting.
You must also know and obey the firearm regulations of the province or territory in which you will be hunting migratory game birds. Check for open season dates, bag and possession limits in the area where you will be hunting, and to verify applicable restrictions.
The hunting seasons and bag limits for migratory game bird species are determined every two years and published as Schedule 1 of the Migratory Birds Regulations.
