Contact Wood on this site. He seems to know a bit about stocking in Canada. In another thread from a few years ago he said it was illegal to have YP.
Might want to check into it.
This is a copy/paste from a previous post this year. It has some links with it.

Manitoba (Red river) is well known for channel cat fishing, it's also one of the coldest places in Canada, similar in climate to northern Alberta. Not sure why they can survive there, whereas there are no catfish around my parts.
For those that are not familiar with BC, there is a wide range of climates from arctic to desert, rainforest and lower mainland that rarely sees snow and is green year round. Not sure where abouts you are but there is catfish in BC waters, also lmb, smb, crappie as well as the cold water fishes.
As in Alberta, you will need a fish culture license to keep private fish. All I could find for allowable species is rainbow trout and white sturgeon. Transplanting of live fish from local waters is illegal, as it is in Alberta. It depends on where you are in the Province, but you likley have more native diversity than I have here, and I heard somewhere that it is very common for birds to transplant fish. http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/omfd/fishstats/aqua/species.html#Finfishhttp://www.env.gov.bc.ca/pasb/applications/process/rainbow_sturgeon.html#a1
