The Government of Canada under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau still plans to legalize cannabis nationwide. Though not finalized yet, it is tentatively set to go into effect sometime in July 2018. And various provinces are already preparing for it.
As for what the age limits will be, that will be up to the provinces to decide. The federal age limit will likely be 18, and most provinces have tentatively decided that their own cannabis smoking ages will match their drinking ages (currently 18 in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec, 19 elsewhere). Thus, the age limit for cannabis in Canada will most likely end up being 18 or 19, depending on the province.
For the record, Twenty-One Debunked believes that the age limits for alcohol, tobacco and cannabis should be 18, or at least no higher than that. We in the USA (where in the growing number of states in which cannabis is legal, the age limit is 21) can really learn a lot from our friendly neighbor to the north!

The United States pays lip service to the concept of freedom. However, in Canada, its people and its government honors the concept of freedom, including youth rights. It's a great thing that in the provinces and territories of Canada, that the smoking age for Cannabis will be 18-19. The Canadian way is indeed better than the American way.
