What is the minimum age to be licensed in Ontario as a Security guard?

  1. 16

  2. 18

  3. 19

  4. 21

The correct answer is: 18

In Ontario, the minimum age to be licensed as a Security Guard is 18. This is a regulation set out by the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services in Ontario as part of the Private Security and Investigative Services Act. This age requirement ensures that individuals are legally adults and are therefore considered responsible enough to take on the duties and responsibilities of a Security Guard, which can often include being responsible for the safety of persons or property.
