While most tags are available OTC, some selected game animals can only be hunted with a tag granted by draw. Grizzly hunts are exclusively by means of draw (LEH).

The short answer is, "No." You might want to consult the LEH Synopsis: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/wildlife/hunting/resident/leh.html

This is from the synopsis: "Any resident of British Columbia who holds a Resident Hunter Number in good standing may apply. A resident may not apply for a LEH authorization if the resident’s hunting licence or hunter number has been suspended, cancelled, or the resident has unpaid fines under the Wildlife Act or the Firearms Act. Applications made by a person who is ineligible will not be entered in the draw and NO refund will be issued. Also please note that if you have moved out of the province you must re-establish your residency in B.C. in order to be eligible.

"A resident is:
1) a person who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, whose only or primary residence is in British Columbia, and has been physically present in British Columbia for the greater portion of each of 6 calendar months out of the 12 calendar months immediately preceding the date of making an application under the Wildlife Act
or doing another thing relevant to the operation of the Wildlife Act, o r

2) a person who is not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, but whose only or primary residence is in British Columbia, and has been physically present in British Columbia for the greater portion of each of the 12 calendar months immediately preceding the date of making an application under the Wildlife Act or doing another
thing relevant to the operation of the Wildlife Act."
