FAQ #2 How long does it take to complete an investigation?

The length of time it takes to complete an investigation in Canada can vary widely depending on the nature and complexity of the case. Some investigations may be completed in a matter of days or weeks, while others may take several months or even years to complete.

Factors that can affect the duration of a private investigation:

• The type of investigation (background checks or surveillance versus complex financial investigations or missing persons cases)
• The amount of information available
• The level of cooperation from subjects or organizations
• Compliance with legal or regulatory requirements
• Unexpected challenges or obstacles
• Location: According to the Crime Severity Index (CSI) published by Statistics Canada, in 2022, the city with the lowest CSI was LaSalle, ON. The Ontarian city has a CSI of 20.69, which is 72% lower than the national index.
• Crime rates & Safety: crime rates can fluctuate over time, and safety can also depend on individual factors such as personal behaviour and living arrangements.
