Residency

[Hot Shoe]

How long does one have to be living in B.C. to be deemed a resident with regards to obtaining a resident hunting license?

[elkdom]

you have to have primary residence in BC for 6 months, for members of Canadian Armed Forces the residence requirement is only 30 days before eligible for BC resident licence.

[riflebuilder]

count your blessings it is a 2 year requirement in the NWT. I moved out just before being able to chase Dahls and big Caribou.

[Slickfork]

That would include B.C. licence plates and Insurance!

I thought it was 12 months, but could easily be wrong.

[brotherjack]

It is 6 months out of the previous 12, if I'm not mistaken. (it's happened once before).

[quadrakid]

it,s in the definitions section of the hunting regs,under bc resident. you have to have been a resident of bc "for the greater portion of each of six calendar months out of the last 12 months"
