The age of majority in the USA is 18 except Alabama (19), Nebraska (19), Puerto Rico (21) and Mississippi (21). The age of majority in Canada is 18 in all provinces except Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and British Columbia where it is 19, and 19 in all of the territories.

That being said, there are still some legal restrictions on persons in most of the USA under 21 years of age (alcohol purchase for example).
