The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997, and O.Reg. 668/98 (Wildlife in Captivity) requires that a person who keeps specially protected raptors or non-indigenous falconry birds in captivity keep a log book. Log books must be updated within 24 hours of any business transaction or event, or as soon as reasonably possible. Log book records need to be kept for five years and must be accurate.
Generally, wildlife cannot be kept in captivity in Ontario. There are some exceptions provided through authorization for persons who engage in approved activities. Persons may apply for a Wildlife Scientific Collector’s Authorization to capture, kill, temporarily possess, and/or release wildlife for educational or scientific purposes.
This is the application form for a Wildlife Scientific Collector’s Authorization. Applicants must submit this completed application form as well as any required supporting materials.
If you have questions regarding how to apply, please contact your local ministry work centre.
