Best Answer:
You should apply for a security guard position and be hired. That's how you'll obtain a licence. You need to be referred by an employer which would be a security agency.
Quote from law text Private Security and Investigative Services Act, 2005:
"6. No person shall act as a private investigator or a security guard or hold himself or herself out as one unless the person holds the appropriate licence under this Act and,
(a) is employed by a licensed business entity, a registered employer under section 5, or an employer that is not required to be registered; or
(b) is the sole proprietor of a licensed business entity or is a partner in a licensed business entity. 2005, c. 34, s. 6."
I used to work for a security school training people to be a security agent in Quebec. Ontario works the same way, just slight differences.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you need more info about this.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!
