It is legal for any child of any age to ride in the front seat of any vehicle in Canada. There are no specific laws making this illegal. Transport Canada recommends turning off their airbag when possible and notes that the back seat would be safer. But since many vehicles, including pick up trucks without backseats and many sports cars, smart cars, etc, only have front seats, it's perfectly okay for any child to sit in the front, provided they are properly restrained and using the appropriate child safety seat.
