There is no specific age limit for working in Canada. You can work as long as you are able to perform the duties of your job and meet your employer's requirements.
Factors that Influence Work Eligibility
While there isn't a strict age limit, several factors can influence your ability to work in Canada:
- Health and Physical Abilities: Your physical and mental health, and your ability to safely perform the job's tasks, are essential.
- Employer Requirements: Employers can set their own age-related qualifications, but they must comply with Canadian employment laws.
- Government Programs: Some government programs, like Old Age Security (OAS), might impact your decision to continue working after a certain age.
Ageism in the Workplace
It's important to note that ageism, or discrimination based on age, is illegal in Canada. Employers cannot discriminate against you based on your age.
