Why PCA

Why PCA may cost more than another server

We don't.

Some process servers attract clients with a low initial quote, only to add charges for mileage, additional attempts, commissioning, administration, and other unexpected expenses. PCA provides a clear, flat-rate price before service begins. You know what is included and what the file will cost—no hidden fees and no surprises.

In most jurisdictions, process servers do not need a special licence. Almost anyone can take your documents and attempt service. The real risk often becomes apparent afterwards, when you need that person to prepare a complete and accurate affidavit or other proof of service.

Every assignment can involve different court rules, specific service requirements, important documents, and multiple exhibits. If the method of service or affidavit does not properly address those details, the court will reject the filing. That can delay the proceeding, increase costs, and require service to be completed again—with no guarantee the same server will get it right the second time.

PCA removes that uncertainty. Our team reviews the requirements, manages the service, and prepares or reviews the resulting proof. Your complete price and scope are confirmed before work begins.

Clear pricing. Proper service. Reliable proof. Let us show you why PCA is the first choice for professional process serving.

Dedicated internal legal team

Our lawyers, paralegals, and legally trained staff review the applicable service requirements and the completion details instead of treating the affidavit as an administrative afterthought.

Filing-ready proof of service

An incorrect or incomplete affidavit can delay a proceeding, require corrective work, and increase the client's costs. PCA drafts, reviews, and commissions the affidavit internally, so law firms are not asked to prepare it for us or spend billable time checking and correcting our work before filing.

Fast, accountable communication

Clients receive quick responses, meaningful updates, and one accountable team managing the file from instructions through completed proof of service.

Coverage without compromise

PCA can coordinate service across Canada and around the world while maintaining central oversight of the method used and the proof returned.

Flat-rate pricing

$335 CAD

One standard flat rate, with the essential work included

$335 CAD is PCA's standard flat rate for serving one defendant at one service address with a standard volume of documents. There are no travel surcharges or hidden fees. The service fee changes only for rush timing, excessive printing, additional defendants, or different service addresses.

Local Service Context

Coordinating service in Toronto

Toronto assignments range from individuals at homes or workplaces to secured condominiums, corporate registered offices, and government institutions. Condominium and high-rise service depends on obtaining lawful building access, so we coordinate with concierges or call ahead where appropriate. Civil and Commercial List matters commonly route through 330 University Avenue, while other Toronto proceedings may originate at 361 University Avenue or 10 Armoury Street. PCA can coordinate service across the entire GTA through the same intake, update, and completion process.

Documents We Handle

Process serving for a wide range of matters

Law firms use us to save the time normally spent finding servers, giving instructions, chasing updates, and correcting incomplete proof of service. Self-represented litigants receive a clear, responsive process with the price confirmed before work begins.

  • Claims, applications, petitions, and notices
  • Family-law and domestic proceedings
  • Subpoenas, summonses, and court-issued documents
  • Corporate, commercial, and demand documents
  • Tribunal, government, and administrative materials
  • Other documents requiring formal delivery or proof of service

Additional Court Support

Process serving is our core service

The large majority of our files are process-serving assignments. Court filing and physical court-file scanning can be coordinated through the same team, so the client does not need to manage multiple vendors for one proceeding.

Primary Service

Process Serving

We review the applicable requirements, coordinate the service attempts, provide regular updates, and draft and review the supporting affidavit internally. Flat-rate pricing keeps the assignment simple to approve and budget.

Court Filing

We can arrange physical filing or lodgement at the relevant court registry and return the available confirmation, subject to the court's filing rules and applicable fees.

Court Scanning

A court agent can attend the courthouse, access available physical records, and create digital copies in accordance with court-access rules, file availability, and applicable fees.

One-stop file support

More than a server at the door.

Skip tracing

Address searches can be coordinated when the recipient's location is uncertain.

Commissioning and notarization

We coordinate the required oath, commissioning, or notarization step for completion materials.

Affidavit drafting and review

Proof of service is drafted and reviewed internally because errors can delay the proceeding.

International service coordination

Cross-border and Hague Convention files can be managed through the same accountable team.

Built for every client

Expert coordination without the uncertainty.

For law firms and organizations

Send the file once and reclaim the administrative time normally spent locating an agent, giving instructions, chasing attempts, arranging courthouse work, and correcting proof of service. We provide one accountable contact and regular updates throughout the assignment in Toronto.

For self-represented litigants

Formal service can feel unfamiliar and high-stakes. We explain our service process clearly, confirm a fair price before work begins, coordinate the assignment, and return organized proof of service so you are not left trying to manage multiple providers alone.
