However, modern convention expects that the prime minister must also be an elected member of the House of Commons, and such elected members must be at least eighteen years old(s. 65(a) of the Canada Elections Act). (Nonetheless, no prime minister of Canada has been younger than 39.)

In Canada, the age of majority, when a person is considered an adult and gains all legal rights and responsibilities, is typically 18 years old. At this age, individuals are legally recognized as adults and can enter into contracts, vote in elections, and make other important decisions without parental consent. However, some provinces in Canada have exceptions for specific legal matters. For example, in some provinces, the legal drinking age may be 19. But generally, 18 is the age at which individuals are considered adults in Canada.
The only Canadians who may not cast a vote are the Chief Electoral Officer (as per s. 4(a) of the Canada Elections Act), and the Assistant Chief Electoral Officer (as per s. 4(b) of the Canada Elections Act).

However, just as Her Majesty the Queen does not vote in Her Majesty's oldest realm, the United Kingdom, the Governor General of Canada does not cast a vote so as to stay non-partisan.
