Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
How long does skip tracing typically take?
Many skip traces are completed within 24-72 hours for straightforward cases. Complex investigations involving multiple databases, field work, or international elements may take 1-2 weeks. We prioritize urgent requests and provide progress updates throughout.
What information do you need to begin a skip trace?
The more information you provide, the faster and more successful the trace. Minimum requirements include full legal name and last known address. Additional helpful information includes date of birth, social insurance number, previous addresses, phone numbers, employment history, and known associates.
Is skip tracing legal in Canada?
Yes, professional skip tracing is legal when conducted in compliance with privacy legislation, collection laws, and investigative regulations. We maintain strict compliance with all applicable laws and only use legal information sources and investigation methods.
What is your success rate for locating people?
Our success rate exceeds industry averages, typically locating subjects in 75-85% of cases. Success depends on information quality, time since last contact, and whether the subject is actively evading. We provide honest assessments of traceability before beginning investigation.
Can you locate people who have moved to other provinces or countries?
Yes, we conduct interprovincial and international skip tracing. We have access to databases and investigative resources across Canada and partnerships with international investigators for cases requiring offshore investigation.
What happens after you locate the debtor?
We provide you with comprehensive investigative reports including verified contact information, employment details, asset discoveries, and recommendations for collection strategy. You can then use this information for direct collection, legal service, or further enforcement actions.
