Oakville Background Check Databases

A big part of performing an Oakville background check will involve verifying a citizen's past history using databases accessed by Oakville Private Investigators, some paid databases and also free to use ones. An Oakville Background Cyber Investigator typically uses a paid Ontario government database to access information regarding criminal history. However, just simply discovering Oakville court records is usually a service that the ON government jurisdiction offers for free. However, with an Oakville Private Investigator service, those records can be found much faster. Often, an Oakville Private Investigator will lookup a citizen's ON court record for free and resort to paying for a criminal record check if court records are found.

  • This is a task that an Oakville PI can do faster and at a lower cost than the average person.​

Unlike searching for court records, a credit history check will often require the Cyber Investigator to pay for accessing the Ontario database that holds financial records.

Oakville Background Check: Phone Calls

When conducting a background check on an Oakville citizen, an Ontario Private Investigator will often perform a fair amount of phone calls if the client requests. This happens a lot when verifying educational degrees or employment history. Often, the Oakville Cyber Investigator will contact the educational institute via phone and validate the degree with the school's records department. However, some ON universities and colleges protect these records. ​ In this case, the Oakville Investigator will have to contact the Oakville resident who is the subject of the background check and get them to contact the ON post-secondary institution themselves in order to access this information. The Oakville citizen will then be asked to request an educational transcript from the school and get the school to mail it to an Oakville address of the Investigator's choosing. This will mitigate tampering of the records document. As with education, researching Oakville references will also require phone calls. The Oakville Cyber Investigator will have to validate that the references are who they say they are and contact them in order to hear their opinions on the subject of the check.
