The security license is property of?

  1. The person who applied for the security license

  2. Lieutenant Governor of Ontario

  3. Registrar

  4. CSIS

The correct answer is: Registrar

In Ontario, a security license is considered the property of the Registrar. The Registrar is the individual, under the Private Security and Investigative Services Act, who has the authority to issue, renew, suspend, or revoke licenses. Even though the individual has applied, paid, and received the license, it remains the property of the Registrar. This is because the license represents the government's grant of permission to the individual to practice as a security professional under specified regulations and stipulations, which can be withdrawn if certain conditions are not met. Hence, it still technically belongs to the Registrar, not the individual holder.
