A non-resident is considered to be anyone who is not an Ontario or Canadian resident. Non-residents under-18 may only fish without a license when accompanied by a licensed adult. Legally, any fish caught will be part of the catch and possession limit of the license holder unless a separate license is purchased by or for the under-18, non-resident.
