First regardless of your citizenship did you check with your chosen airline what rules they have for unaccompanied minors ?

Yes, s/he can travel to Canada alone. That said, s/he must carry a consent letter signed by both non-accompanying parents, or the non-accompanying parent who has the custody rights of the minor that allows her/him to travel internationally alone

Hi Bryanna and all experts,
Many thanks for your usual and never-ending support indeed. Our child is planning to returned Canada first time very soon as he has left Canada with parents at the age of just six months and now planning to start his high school education from Canada at the age of 17 and he has all the relevant documents likewise: Canadian Passport, SIN, Healthcare card, Birth-certificate etc...
your expert advises are requested on following queries and would appreciate if you could also add some more suggestions which could help him:

1: Should he go directly to high school for admission or should he visit to an education office/department to get support for admission in school.
2: Should he open a bank account once reached there.
3: should he file his tax returns although there is no income he has earned in Canada yet and never file any returns earlier?
4: Can he apply for education loan?
5: Can he is eligible to apply for child tax benefits for himself although he is still under 18 and would be living there alone and don't have any guardian/custodian etc..?
6: what support can he get from government of Canada while living alone in Canada till the time his education is completed.
:
Thanks in advance for your usual support.
