Process Server & Court Runner — Local Assignments Across Canada

Pugsley Court Agents Inc. is expanding its network of professional process servers and court runners across Canada. We are looking for reliable, responsive contractors who can manage multiple active files, plan efficient routes and deliver accurate work without constant follow-up.

This is hands-on, on-the-road work in your local city and surrounding communities—not a work-from-home position. You do not need to travel across Canada.

Compensation

• CAD $60 per assignment
• CAD $0.35 per kilometre for assignment-related travel.
• Approved assignment-related disbursements reimbursed, including parking, printing, postage, court fees and commissioning costs where applicable.

Assignments are offered as work becomes available. Hours and volume vary by location and are not guaranteed. We welcome contractors with capacity for regular, higher-volume assignments as our local workload grows.

What you will do

• Serve legal documents on individuals and businesses in accordance with the instructions for each file.
• Attend courthouses to file, retrieve, copy or scan documents, and complete document pickups and deliveries.
• Organize routes, manage multiple files and meet agreed deadlines.
• Send a clear update promptly after every attempt or court attendance—including unsuccessful attempts.
• Keep accurate dates, times, addresses and factual notes and send service reports promptly. PCA drafts the affidavits; you review them for accuracy and arrange signing and commissioning when required.
• Flag obstacles early and ask PCA for guidance rather than guessing.
• Handle confidential documents securely and remain calm, respectful and professional with everyone you encounter.

What you need

• A valid driver's licence and reliable, appropriately insured vehicle.
• A smartphone with data and camera, reliable email/internet access, and access to printing and scanning.
• Strong written communication, attention to detail and dependable follow-through.
• Confidence working independently and approaching residences and businesses professionally.
• Capacity to handle several assignments at once without sacrificing accuracy or responsiveness.
• Availability for agreed assignments; some service attempts require evenings or weekends, while court work generally takes place during business hours.
• Any qualifications or authorizations required for the assignments in your jurisdiction.

Helpful, but not mandatory

• Previous process-serving, court-running, legal support, courier, investigations or related field experience.
• An established connection with a commissioner for oaths, notary or other authorized person who can commission your affidavits.
• Familiarity with local courthouses and surrounding communities.

Prior process-serving experience is an asset, not a general entry requirement. PCA provides file-specific instructions and support. Any legally required qualifications must still be met.
