Minumim age to work. (def NF)

[TJQ]

So.. I go through the entire CRA and Ontario Govt sites, and Ill be darned if I can find out what the min age for work is.. Averys chomping at the bit to get a job, and I'd like to be informed. Plus the fact that the kids are more than computer literate enough to help me out here, but I cant find any info.. does anyone here know anything about this??

You just need a social insurance card to work. I got mine when I was 15. (That was 10-11 years ago)

What about child actors, entertainers? I need to have an early retirement dream... lol

 

I recall working from about the age of 9, but I think that was legalized child slavery from my parents as I don't recall being paid a wage per se, but I also don't recall paying rent so maybe we were even...

My son was delivering papers well before he was 14 - but I think I needed to sign a parental consent.

 

I sure wish there was some kinda act when I was younger than 14 - growing up on a farm meant you were doing plenty before you were 14. My guess is if there was some type of legislation like that then it wouldn't have carried much weight with my folks.

Every kid in Canada should have to work a farm for one summer in their teens.

Was a real eye opener for me at 14.

Great physical training.
