I hired The Smith Investigation Agency to find a physical address. I got what I needed with details of how they obtained the information. My emails were answered every single time, even when there were no updates to give me, but I was assured there was someone working on my case. I would strongly recommend this agency for your needs, you will not regret it.

Certified private investigators in Canada are professionals governed by rules set out by various acts, including PIPEDA, the Ministry of the Solicitor General, and other governing bodies. They are permitted to carry out carefully managed investigative services for private individuals and businesses in a discreet, law-abiding manner in accordance with these regulations.
Our fully certified and legal team of private investigators can perform many services, including the following (click on any of the links below to learn more about each of them):
Absolutely! The only thing to bear in mind is that one needs to be realistic about which services they expect a private investigator to perform. The role is very different from the version depicted in movies or on television. We must adhere to federal and provincial operating regulations, a wide array of Acts, and otherwise. Therefore, should we decline a specific request, it’s almost certainly due to it not falling within our legally permissible operations. In other cases, we may only be able to get so far with limited information, but we’ll do our utmost to deliver optimal results. In addition, by operating legally and as a certified private investigative agency, the evidence we obtain can be entered into legal proceedings.
The primary action a private investigator is permitted to carry out, within legal regulations, is to monitor an individual’s actions and report on their activities. They can also obtain information via public records, and select private databases outside the public eye, but it’s crucial to be aware that they cannot obtain sensitive data pertaining to the government, CRA, disability, welfare, or other similar sources. If you’re unsure whether we can meet your needs, don’t be afraid to discuss your private investigative requirements with us – we’re happy to do so in a discreet manner that safeguards your privacy and security. That way, it’s easier to make an informed decision.
The price of hiring a private investigator not only varies depending on the time they put into the work, how they charge and other individual factors, but also the agency itself. For instance, with us, we promise to deliver the quality and professionalism that you pay for, going above and beyond for each client to ensure optimal results even with legal and/or information access limitations. Evidence is obtained with care to ensure it can be used in your legal defence or argument, communications are transparent between us but discreetly keep the outside world out, and any surveillance duties we perform are handled with care and respect for all involved parties.
Private investigators, as already detailed, can fulfill a wide array of duties in accordance with governing privacy and security laws, among other regulations. Compliance is crucial if one is to operate as a professional, dependable private investigator. We cannot use firearms, hack into computers or smartphones, request sensitive data from bodies like the CRA, trespass on private property, or follow through with other unrealistic propositions. We must operate legally, proactively, and very much discreetly, both to protect ourselves and our clients.
