Verify who you’re dealing with—before it’s too late

In today’s world, trust must be earned, not assumed. Whether you’re hiring a new employee, entering a business partnership, starting a new relationship, or seeking a caregiver for your child or elderly parent, a thorough background check can protect you from fraud, deception, and serious personal or financial risks.

At our private investigation agency in Ontario, we conduct comprehensive, fully compliant investigations tailored to your specific needs. Our licensed investigators go far beyond a simple online search — using verified databases, public records, and intelligence sources to uncover the truth with accuracy, integrity, and complete confidentiality.

What we investigate

Investigator searching databases to check criminal record history and employment verification for a background check.

Our background checks may include any or all of the following components, depending on your objectives and legal authorization:

  • Criminal record history (including provincial and national databases)
  • Employment verification and professional credentials
  • Education and certification verification
  • Credit and financial history (where legally permissible)
  • Civil litigation and court records (e.g., lawsuits, judgments, restraining orders)
  • Corporate affiliations and business ownership
  • Social media and digital footprint analysis
  • Address history and known associates
  • Immigration or residency status (publicly available data only)

Note: All investigations are conducted strictly in accordance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Ontario’s Private Security and Investigative Services Act. We never access personal data — such as sealed records, mobile phone logs, or bank statements — without lawful authorization.

Common reasons clients request background checks

  • Pre-employment screening for sensitive or high-trust roles
  • Due diligence before business partnerships or investments
  • Online dating or new romantic relationships
  • Childcare, eldercare, or in-home service providers
  • Tenant screening for landlords
  • Family law matters (e.g., verifying a co-parent’s lifestyle or associates)
  • Adoption or guardianship proceedings

We understand that each situation is unique—which is why every background check is custom-designed, not cookie-cutter.
