How can I move out of my house as soon as I can?

Currently, I am 14 years old. I am planning to leave at 16, if thats possible. I live in Ontario, Canada. I will be leaving without parental consent. Help will be appreciated, those that comment rudely will be ignored. Thank you for any and all help :)

Answer #1

In Ontario, you are well within your legal rights to leave home at 16. You’ll need to make sure you have a source of income and a place to go - apartments in Ottawa are very expensive, so you may want to see about sharing an apartment with a roommate.

Answer #2

Thank you for your answer. There was quite some debate going on among internet sites and its nice to have a straight answer, much appreciated.

Also, yes, i have my working/living arrangements planned out. But thank you for you insight :)

Answer #3

I’m from Ontario too, and I left home at 16, so if you need any information, don’t be afraid to ask.

Answer #4
