Applicants must meet specific qualifications, including being at least 18-years-old, a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, and holding a valid Class 'G' driver’s license. Candidates must also have an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or the equivalent, possess a clean criminal record, and pass a series of assessments.
