Your Newfoundland & Labrador Visitor and Tourism info guide

Crossing the international border into Canada has changed since 9/11, the rules have been more strictly enforced and the traveller needs more information. While our borders are friendly, we do have strict rules and regulations as to what you can bring into Canada. Best to do a little reading first and be prepared to declare everything to our friendly Customs officials. If you don't follow the rules your trip can end in a big disappointment.

Canada Customs require that US citizens carry proof of residency, and some identification documents showing citizenship such as a US passport (this is the best), birth certificate, or baptismal certificate. Visitors from other countries should contact the Canadian Consulate or Embassy in your country. You will be required to carry at least a valid passport, and possibly a visa.

NEWFOUNDLAND FISHING LICENSES

All non-residents are required to obtain a salmon license to fish on scheduled salmon waters. Non-residents who retain brook trout while fishing on a scheduled salmon river/stream are required to be in possession of a valid non-resident trout license. In addition, non-residents who fish for brook trout, on both scheduled and unscheduled waters (lakes, ponds or trout streams) are required to hold a non-resident license. A qualified guide is required for visitors intending to fish in licensed rivers in Newfoundland and in all waters in Labrador.

*It is best to inquire directly with your destination prior to your trip. For a Non Resident Fishing License - about $60 Canadian appears to be the approximate rate for a combined Trout and Salmon license.
