From the SJA Council, the youngest age is based on maturity. From experience, the youngest person I had on course was a 9 year old, but her mother was with her on the course. So the minimum age is based on a case, by case basis.
If you are asking from a cadet standard, you need to speak with your unit Training staff.

well technically, the course is given to cadet of second year in the land element (which mean 12-13 years old). there is a number of determined place on the course depending of the size of the unit. so if the number of place is not completed with the number of cadet in second year, the CO can choose who should attend.
Usually, he will send first the staff that will be attending a staff camp during summer, second people who has their card expired (expired after 3 years if I remember correctly) after, the officers, and after any one who is not qualified. It is not an uncommon thing to see first year cadet on the course.
Hope the info sheds a little light on the subject.
mysteriousmind, where do you get your information from? I've never heard of that being done here in Ontario before, maybe it is a Quebec/ Eastern Region thing.
For the cadet who is asking, if you are in cadets, then you are old enough. It depends on if/when your cadet corps runs first aid training. If you can't get it at the corps level then you can wait until your CL year at Blackdown, as emergency first aid training is part of the course.
