Licensing for liquor and cannabis licensees
AGLC has officially launched the Online Licensing Portal for liquor, cannabis and public special event licences. The new portal provides liquor and cannabis licensees an online and self-service platform which supports new licence applications, reissued licences and cancelled licences, and allows users to make payments directly online.
As AGLC transitions to a new system, there may be potential delays in processing applications, updating information and making payments. We thank you for your patience during this transition and will do everything to ensure applications, and any changes, are completed as soon as possible.
Please note: Registered gaming worker, qualified cannabis worker and charitable gaming licensing applications will continue to be submitted by email, mail or delivery to AGLC offices. At a future date, AGLC will transition the application process for registered gaming workers, qualified cannabis workers and gaming licensing to the new licensing portal. Check back at aglc.ca/gaming and this page for updates.
