Hunting Licence for non-NWT residents

If you are a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant who lives outside the NWT or has not resided in the NWT for 12 months, you need a non-resident hunting licence (NR).

If you are not a Canadian citizen or a landed immigrant, you need a Non-resident Alien Hunting Licence.

Non-NWT residents must follow the seasons, bag limits and other conditions laid out in the regulations for the non-resident licence.

Non-NWT residents must use the services of a licensed NWT outfitter and guide to hunt big game (but not small game). Outfitters provide licensed guides for the hunters they serve. For information on outfitters in the NWT, contact NWT Tourism.

Fees are charged for the tag, and vary by species of game. For more information, view the Wildlife Fees Regulations.

Available in person from your local or regional ECC Office.
