Locate Someone
Free people-search sites fail on Canadian subjects more often than they succeed. A licensed locate uses records and methods those sites cannot touch.
What we can do
A licensed investigator draws on a lawful source stack that free search sites do not have access to: credit header data used within its permitted purposes, public registries, and confirmation on the ground, not just an address a database guessed at. We verify that a person actually lives somewhere before we hand you an address.
Common reasons clients need a locate: serving legal documents on someone avoiding service, reconnecting with a family member, or supporting a litigation or asset-recovery matter.
What we will not do
We do not have access to police databases (CPIC) or tax records, and we cannot pull a credit report to find someone (Ontario’s Consumer Reporting Act does not list locating a person among the permitted purposes). Nobody, including us, can guarantee a find. What we can guarantee is a lawful, honest effort using every channel that is actually available.
Timelines and difficulty
Straightforward locates with recent address history often resolve quickly. A subject who has deliberately gone to ground, changed jurisdictions, or has a common name takes longer and costs more, for the same reason a harder surveillance case costs more: it takes more hours to do properly.
