Age of Majority in Canada by Province

Many Canadian sweepstakes restrict entry to people who have reached their age of majority. However, the age at which a person is no longer considered a minor varies from province to province. Here is a guide to the age of majority by Canadian province, to help you determine whether you're eligible to enter sweepstakes.

Note that the age of majority by province can be influenced by other factors as well. For example, if a judge declares a minor emancipated, he or she usually receives majority at the same time. Many areas also give majority to minors who marry or who join the armed forces.
