  1. 1 year

  2. 2 years

  3. 3 years

  4. 4 years

The correct answer is: 2 years

In Ontario, Canada, the security guard license is valid for a period of 2 years. This means that once you have successfully completed the training, passed your exam, and obtained your license, you are allowed to work as a security guard in the province for a two-year span. The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services in Ontario, which governs this licensing, has set this duration. At the end of 2 years, security guards are required to go through the renewal process to continue working legally in this profession.
