Gary:
I'm not aware of what is available throughout Canada, but in Ontario, one can obtain their Ontario non-resident fishing licence over the telphone by calling toll free at 1-800-667-1940. Payment method is credit card (Visa, Mastercard or American Express). Allow 3 weeks for delivery. I asked about on-line application but that isn't available.

Before anyone jumps to using Permitme.com, note the cost comparisons:
Seasonal sport fishing licence from MNR is $59.50 Cdn ($40.42 US) vs $56.60 US from Permitme.com
Seasonal conservation licence from MNR is $36.00 Cdn ($24.46 US) vs $34.00 US from Permitme.com
7 day sport fishing licence from MNR is $38.00 Cdn ($25.82 US) vs $36.00 US from Permitme.com
7 day conservation licence from MNR is $22.50 Cdn ($15.29 US) vs $21.50 US from Permitme.com
Exchange rate used in calculations today is $1 US = $1.4719 Cdn
MNR charges $7 Cdn mailing fee (regardless US destination)
Permitme.com charges $7 US internet transaction fee
Delivery is 2-3 weeks regardless the method.
Observation:
It would appear that on-line purchase of a non-resident Ontario fishing licence comes with about a 40% cost premium.
