Background Check Services You Can Trust

We deliver in-depth background checks to assess trust, integrity, and potential risks – not police-issued reports for jobs or immigration.

Why Background Checks Matter

Background checks help you avoid costly mistakes by exposing red flags you can’t afford to miss. Our investigators look deeper than surface-level searches, uncovering issues such as hidden assets, undisclosed debts, false credentials, and concealed identities.

Whether you’re hiring, entering a relationship, or making a major investment, having the right information protects your time, money, and peace of mind.

Don’t leave your future to chance. Get the facts before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Background Checks

Q1. What does your background check include?

Our background checks focus on criminal convictions history from public court records and asset investigations. We can also verify employment, education, and other public information as needed.

Q2. How long does a background check take?

Most background checks are completed within 3–5 business days, depending on the scope and complexity.

Q3. Do you provide police background checks for employment?

No. Police background checks for employment (for example, a Vulnerable Sector Check or fingerprint-based clearance) must be requested by the individual directly from their local police department. Investigation Hotline cannot legally access police certificates or non-public police records.

Q4. What’s the difference between a police background check and what you do?

A police background check usually provides a record of arrests or charges held by local or federal police (RCMP). Our background check uses publicly available court records to determine if someone has criminal convictions on record. We cannot access police databases.

Q5. Can you run a quick criminal check to see if someone has ever been arrested?

No. Only police agencies can check non-conviction arrest histories. Our team investigates convictions recorded in public courts and focuses on legally defensible documentation.

Q6. Can you find out who owns a phone number or who is calling me?

No. We do not offer caller ID or phone tracing. Our background checks are designed for deeper investigations involving court records and financial matters.

Q7. Are your background checks legal?

Yes. We follow all legal requirements for private investigations in Canada. All findings are obtained through lawful means and are court-admissible.

Q8. Can I run a background check on someone I’m dating?

Yes, many of our clients use our services to verify the identity, marital status, or criminal history of romantic partners, especially before making major commitments.

Q9. Will the person know they’re being investigated?

No. All background checks are conducted discreetly, and your identity is never disclosed.

Q10. What areas do you cover?

We serve clients across the Greater Toronto Area, including Mississauga, Vaughan, Brampton, Oakville, and beyond. We also offer services throughout Canada,  and internationally.
