Toronto, Ontario
Process server in Toronto
Toronto is the busiest service market in the country, and the hardest to get right: concierge towers, corporate head offices with security desks, and a downtown core where an attempt can take an hour just to reach a door. Our Toronto servers work the city daily and know which buildings need a call ahead.

Local knowledge
What service in Toronto actually involves
Concierge buildings
Many downtown towers will not let a server past the lobby. We work with the front desk and, where needed, arrange for the party to come down — and where that fails, the attempt record supports a motion for an alternative to personal service.
Parking and timing
Attempts are planned around when someone is actually likely to be there: early morning and evening for residences, business hours for offices.
Corporate service
For a company, tell us whether you want service at the place of business or the registered office from the corporate registry; the rules allow both in different circumstances.
Questions
Process serving in Toronto
How fast can you serve someone in Toronto?
Rush means a first attempt within 48 hours and, in most of the city, the next business day. Order before 5:00 p.m. Eastern and the clock starts that day.
What if the building won't let the server in?
The server records the refusal, who refused, and when. That record is what supports an application for substituted service, and we flag the case for your instructions straight away.
