Just got this email, It concerns the beginning of the post.
Hello,
Thank you for your email. I believe you are speaking of a Non-Resident Recreational Tidal Water Sport Fishing Licence. The area you are speaking of only a Canadian resident may fish for or retain halibut under an electronic licence in management areas 23, 121 and 123 as described in Schedule II of the Pacific Fishery Management Area Regulations. If you are a non-resident and wish to fish for halibut in management areas 23, 121 and 123 you must purchase a paper license from a vendor in Canada. Refunds will not be issued so please ensure your licence selections is correct before you complete your transaction.
