FAQ
Why would I need to run a background check on someone I’m dating, in a relationship with?
When you’re building a future with someone, trust is everything. But sometimes, people aren’t who they say they are. A background check can reveal hidden criminal records, lawsuits, financial troubles, or even undisclosed relationships. It’s not about being paranoid, it’s about being smart.
Is it legal to run a background check on my partner in Canada?
Yes, all the information we collect is sourced from public records and government databases. That said, privacy laws vary by province. We operate fully within legal boundaries and comply with all Canadian privacy and data laws.
What kind of information can you find?
We can uncover:
- Criminal history (arrests, convictions, restraining orders, etc)
- Civil litigation history (lawsuits,the person being sued, who they have sued, etc.)
- Municipal infractions (bylaw violations, parking tickets, local fines)
- Bankruptcy and insolvency records (amount, trustee name, dates, consumer proposals, etc)
- Company ownership
- Property titles, leases and leans
Will the person know I requested a background check on them?
No. Our searches are completely confidential. The individual is not notified, and your identity is never disclosed.
If you wish to do the checks with your partner, that both of you agree to be transparent with each other, that is also encouraged.
I’m in love, won’t this make me look suspicious or paranoid?
It’s not about suspicion, it’s about self-respect and protection. Love should never blind you to red flags. Think of this as emotional due diligence. You insure your home and investments, why not protect your emotional future?
What provinces do you cover?
We currently serve clients with access to provincial and municipal records in:
- Quebec
- Ontario
- Nova Scotia
- British Columbia
How long does it take to get results?
Most reports are completed within 4 to 7 business days, depending on the depth of the search and the province.
Can you check someone I met online or through a dating app?
Yes. Many of our clients run checks on people they’ve met online. With just a name (first and last) and a few key details (like a city or date of birth), we can begin the process.
Is this service only for women?
Not at all. While many of our clients are women seeking security, we also work with men who want clarity and peace of mind. Background checks are gender-neutral, safety and honesty matter to everyone.
How much does it cost?
Our pricing varies depending on the depth and number of checks required. Most of our clients invest between $600 and $1,200 CAD per report. Think of it as a small price for long-term clarity.
What if the report comes back clean?
Then you can move forward in your relationship with confidence. Our clients say that knowing the truth, even when it’s good news, helps build a foundation of trust.
Can you check someone I used to date?
Absolutely. Many clients request background checks on ex-partners before legal proceedings, custody battles, or even just to get closure. We can help.
Is this like hiring a private investigator?
Not quite. We’re not spying or following anyone. We work with official records, court documents, and databases, not rumors or speculation. It’s ethical, legal, and fact-based.
Can you find out if someone is still legally married or in another relationship?
While we can’t access marriage certificates directly, we often uncover indirect indicators, like shared property ownership, legal filings, or cohabitation records — that suggest someone may still be legally attached.
Can you check if someone has a history of domestic violence or restraining orders?
Yes. We search for criminal charges, protective orders, and civil litigation that could point to past abuse or threatening behavior. These are key red flags you deserve to know about.
What if the person has lived in more than one province?
We can search across multiple provinces, including Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia, and British Columbia. If you’re unsure where they’ve lived, it becomes difficult for us to trace their history.
I only have their first name and phone number, is that enough?
No, we need their full name and date of birth. In some cases, we can often start with limited information like a phone number, email, or social media handle and build from there.
Do you check for fraud, scams, or business misconduct?
Yes. We look for records of fraud charges, civil suits related to financial deception, and bankruptcy filings. If someone has a history of dishonest dealings, we’ll find it.
I suspect my partner is hiding assets. Can you find out?
We can search for property ownership, business affiliations, and bankruptcy records, which may reveal hidden wealth or debt. For deeper financial checks, we may refer you to a forensic accountant.
Can I use the report in court or during legal proceedings?
Yes, in most cases. Our reports use information from official public records, making them suitable for use in family law matters, custody cases, or prenuptial agreements. Always consult your lawyer for guidance.
Do you offer recurring or updated checks over time?
Yes. Relationships evolve and so do people’s circumstances. We offer subscription or follow-up services for clients who want periodic updates or are entering long-term commitments.
Can you verify someone’s job, education, or credentials?
Yes, we can verify employment claims, academic degrees, certifications, and professional licenses, especially helpful when someone’s past doesn’t quite match their story.
What makes your service different from an online background check?
Unlike generic online services, we provide human-reviewed, province-specific reports based on verified Canadian government databases. No guesswork, no AI scraping, just the truth, legally and discreetly sourced.
Do your background checks cover all of Canada or other countries?
Our background checks are province-specific and based on public records available in Canada. We currently offer services in:
- Quebec
- Ontario
- Nova Scotia
- British Columbia
If the individual you’re checking has a criminal record, civil litigation history, bankruptcies, or municipal infractions in another province or outside of Canada, those records will not appear in your report unless specifically requested and available through legal channels. If you would like us to check more than the province the individual is currently living in, please let us know, additional fees will apply.
We do not access international databases or non-public foreign legal systems, as these vary widely in accessibility and legality.
👉 Please note: We cannot be held responsible for records that fall outside the scope of the jurisdiction(s) requested. It’s simply not possible to search every country or region in the world.
If you suspect the individual has lived or conducted business elsewhere, we strongly recommend informing us at the time of your request so we can advise on what is and isn’t possible.
