At what age is a personal legally an adult in Canada?

16 years of age
12 years of age
18 years of age
21 years of age

The correct answer is: 18 years of age

The correct answer is 18 years of age. According to the laws of Canada, a person is considered to be an adult at the age of 18. This is when individuals legally become adults and are granted the full rights of an adult. For instance, at 18, a person is allowed to vote in elections, enter into legal contracts, and in most jurisdictions - including Ontario - become a security guard. Therefore, they take on all the corresponding responsibilities and penalties of adulthood. This includes having full legal culpability for their actions, having the right to marry without parental consent, and many other privileges and obligations. The age of majority is a key legal milestone for many processes, and the security industry in Ontario recognizes this age as the minimum for licensing.
