    In Canada, each province and territory decides the age of majority. Anyone under the age of majority is considered to be a 'minor child'.

    While I live in Ontario where that age is 18, in BC, the age is 19.

    Actually in Ontario you can move out at 16. Leaving after the age of 16, you are not considered a runaway. You may emancipate yourself at 16:)

    Really? 16?

    What is the name of the Ontario statue that allows this?

    How do you know it is 16?
