Yes! All fees must be paid up-to-date in order for the The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to transfer / surrender your licence or permit.

You must complete an “Application to Transfer” or in the case of Surrender apply in hard copy to the MNR. Final production reports and fees for the current year will need to be completed/paid as well as any past due items. Once the MNR has the items and inspections they require and TOARC has all reports and fees then the final transfer / surrender can be completed.

If there are any past due items for any of your licenses or permits anywhere in Ontario the MNR will not proceed with a transfer or surrender until all items are current.
