Toronto · Licensed Private Investigators
Private Investigator in Toronto
Garuna Group handles corporate, legal and private investigations in Toronto and across the GTA. We provide a clear scope, lawful fact-finding and reports that show how each material finding was reached.
When a decision depends on facts that are incomplete, disputed or deliberately hidden, a focused investigation can replace assumption with evidence.
Toronto matters often move across corporate records, court files, workplaces and several municipalities. Our team coordinates the work from one file, whether the issue involves internal fraud, a missing witness, a counterparty or assets connected to litigation.
Investigation services in Toronto
Corporate and internal investigations
Fact-finding for suspected fraud, theft, conflicts of interest and employee misconduct. We help define the allegation, preserve relevant material and establish what the available evidence supports.
Litigation support
Witness location, interviews, surveillance, public-record research and other investigative work directed by counsel. Reports are organized with sources and supporting exhibits for legal review.
Asset tracing
Research into real property, corporate interests, security registrations, litigation and other lawful sources. We identify leads and explain what additional legal process may be required.
Due diligence
Background and integrity research on people, companies and counterparties. The scope is matched to the decision, whether it involves a transaction, appointment, supplier or business relationship.
Surveillance and location work
Discreet, lawful observation and location enquiries conducted by licensed investigators. Notes, images and source records are documented throughout the assignment.
Workplace investigations
Independent enquiries into harassment, discrimination, policy breaches and other workplace complaints, with attention to procedural fairness and applicable privacy obligations.
Who hires us in Toronto
We work with law firms, in-house counsel, business owners, boards, insurers and private clients. Common Toronto mandates include litigation support, workplace complaints, fraud enquiries, asset research, due diligence and surveillance.
Some matters are suited to a focused records search. Others require fieldwork, interviews or coordination with counsel. We recommend the smallest lawful scope that can answer the question, and we will say plainly when an investigator is not the right solution.
How an engagement works
1. Define the question
We discuss the facts you already have, the decision you need to make and any legal or time constraints.
2. Agree on scope
You receive a written plan that sets out the work, deliverables, timing and fees before the investigation begins.
3. Investigate
We use the lawful records, research, interviews or fieldwork relevant to the assignment and provide updates at agreed points.
4. Report
The final report separates confirmed facts from unverified leads and explains important gaps or limitations.
Serving Toronto and the GTA surrounding area
Assignments are conducted throughout the City of Toronto and the GTA, including Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Oakville and Durham Region.
Garuna Group is a Toronto-based Ontario agency. We serve Toronto without suggesting that we maintain a local office there. If work is required outside Ontario, we confirm the licensing and local-partner requirements before it begins.
Frequently asked questions
Are private investigators licensed in Ontario?
Yes. Private investigators and investigative agencies in Ontario are regulated under the Private Security and Investigative Services Act. You can review licensing information on the Government of Ontario website.
How much does a private investigator in Toronto cost?
Cost depends on the objective, available information, travel and the type of work required. After a confidential intake, we provide a written scope and fee estimate before work begins.
What can a private investigator legally do?
A licensed investigator can conduct lawful public-record and open-source research, interviews, location enquiries and surveillance in places where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. Investigators cannot access private bank, phone or government records without proper authority.
Will the investigation remain confidential?
We limit information to the people assigned to the matter and agree on reporting contacts at the outset. No investigator can promise absolute confidentiality in every circumstance, particularly if disclosure is required by law or a court.
How quickly can work begin?
Timing depends on the assignment and investigator availability. Urgent deadlines should be included in your first message so we can confirm what is realistic before you rely on a date.
