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

The minimum age to be licensed as a security guard in Ontario is 18 years old. This requirement ensures that individuals in this role possess a certain level of maturity and responsibility, which are essential qualities for effectively handling security-related duties. At 18, individuals are legally recognized as adults in Canada, allowing them to take on the critical responsibilities that come with the job, such as managing situations that may arise in a security context and making informed decisions under pressure. Other age options presented do not align with this legal framework, as they fall below the age threshold for adult responsibilities in Ontario.
