What are you talking about? It's illegal if it is sexual exploitation, and there are a number of factors that can establish that a relationship is exploitive, with age difference being one explicitely mentioned.
Criminal Code Section 153:
153. (1) Every person commits an offence who is in a position of trust or authority towards a young person, who is a person with whom the young person is in a relationship of dependency or who is in a relationship with a young person that is exploitative of the young person, and who
(
a) for a sexual purpose, touches, directly or indirectly, with a part of the body or with an object, any part of the body of the young person; or
(
b) for a sexual purpose, invites, counsels or incites a young person to touch, directly or indirectly, with a part of the body or with an object, the body of any person, including the body of the person who so invites, counsels or incites and the body of the young person
(1.2) A judge may infer that a person is in a relationship with a young person that is exploitative of the young person from the nature and circumstances of the relationship, including
(
a) the age of the young person;
(
b) the age difference between the person and the young person;
(
c) the evolution of the relationship; and
(
d) the degree of control or influence by the person over the young person
