Overview

Ontario's polygraph testing network reflects the province's size and population — the largest in Canada. Our professional examiners operate professional offices in Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, and other major centres, providing convenient access to confidential, controlled-environment examinations.

A lie detector test in Ontario costs between CAD $1000 and CAD $1000 depending on location. All prices are all-inclusive — covering the booking fee, an examiner trained to APA & CPA standards, private office, pre-test assessment, full polygraph examination, and a detailed written report. Only a CAD $100 refundable deposit is required to book: refunded in full if we can’t book you, deducted from your total once your appointment is confirmed.

Polygraph Law
Ontario
Polygraph
Statutes
Courts: limited use

Admissibility in Ontario courts

Ontario courts follow the Supreme Court of Canada ruling in R. v. Béland (1987), which generally excludes polygraph results as evidence. However, polygraphs are extensively used by Ontario Provincial Police, Toronto Police Service, and other law enforcement agencies during investigations. Defence counsel routinely use polygraph results for case assessment and plea negotiations.

Workplace polygraph law

Ontario does not have specific legislation governing workplace polygraph use. The Ontario Human Rights Code and the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) provide the framework for employment-related testing. Ontario's Employment Standards Act does not address polygraph testing directly.

Booking Through Us vs. Finding an Examiner on Your Own

On your own

  • You must confirm the training school is genuinely APA-accredited — many “certificates” come from unaccredited courses.
  • You must check that memberships are real and have not lapsed.
  • Few people think to ask about professional liability insurance.
  • A sole operator often has no published standards and no complaints route.
  • You may pay in full for a test your situation is not suitable for.

Booking through us

  • Training, accreditation, and credentials already verified.
  • Memberships checked and kept current.
  • Professional liability insurance in place.
  • Published Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice, and complaints procedure.
  • Every case reviewed first — if it’s unsuitable, your CAD $100 deposit is refunded in full.
