Age of majority in Ontario is 18. Sorry. Might want to unpack that suitcase.
I am pretty sure it is 16 in Ontario... I haven't checked recently;unless it changed.

I just checked, as per my previous post. It's 18.

I live in Ontario too.

I didn't just guess. It is freely Googleable: "age of majority Ontario" or "Ontario minor age"
 
Heh. It's no the news right now.

"felony misuse of the computer" is the offical charge.

In Canada, wiretapping and hacking statutes could both apply to a case such as this.

Are you sure that the age of majority applies to the leaving home issue.? I did a quick search myself and also saw 16 and 18. :-$.

If I am wrong then I am sorry.

Edit

Btw I searched for "legal age to move out in ontario". Almost all results said 16.

Look up "emancipation". You can apply for emancipation at 16.

Unless you get emancipated, you are still a minor, and your parents can haul you by your ear back home.

Okay. I see.

Then I was wrong,sorry about that. :-P

If it applies to children of all ages then my search should have turned up a different age.
I am pretty sure that minors of age 16 and up can apply for emancipation. Of course, once 18, they are legally adults.

I am having difficulty locating any references to emancipation in Ontario. There's sure a lot of questinos and guessing going on out there, but I wouldn't trust antyig but government or legal corporate sites.

Yeah, I noticed that. Also went i typed in "legal age to move out in ontario" in the search engine it didn't mention emancipation.

Don't bother doing the research it is off-topic anyway besides it's too late to be thinking especially over the holiday.
