Canadian Process Serving Inc. provides reliable, professional process serving and legal document delivery services across Manitoba from our Winnipeg office. Our experienced process servers ensure your legal documents are served promptly and in compliance with Manitoba’s court rules.
Provincial Expertise
Our Manitoba process servers are experienced in handling all types of legal document service in accordance with provincial legislation. From our base in Winnipeg, we are equipped to handle serves throughout the capital region and coordinate service to other areas of the province as needed.
The “Zero Return” Standard: 5 Attempts Minimum
Most process servers try three times and quit. We do more. Our policy is a minimum of 5 attempts on different days and times (including evenings and weekends).
Why do we do this? Because returning a file as “Unserved” forces you to bring a motion for Substitutional Service. In Manitoba, this consumes valuable time and legal fees. We put in the extra work upfront to secure personal service whenever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions (Manitoba)
What is the Small Claims limit in Manitoba?
As of January 1, 2025, the monetary limit for Small Claims Court in Manitoba is $20,000 (excluding interest and costs). Claims exceeding this amount must be filed in the Court of King’s Bench (General Division).
Can you serve originating documents in Manitoba?
Yes. Originating documents such as a Statement of Claim or Petition generally require personal service on the defendant. Our process servers handle personal service throughout Manitoba, ensuring your documents are delivered properly and your Affidavit of Service holds up in court.
Can you serve a corporation in Manitoba?
Yes. We have nearly 40 years of experience serving corporations across Canada, including at registered offices and on directors, officers, and registered agents. We ensure service is completed in a manner that will hold up in court. If you are unsure how a corporation should be served in your specific matter, we recommend confirming with your legal counsel.
What happens if someone cannot be personally served?
In the vast majority of cases, our 5-attempt minimum gets the job done — personal service is successfully completed. In the rare cases where personal service is not possible despite our best efforts, you may need to apply for a Substitutional Service Order. When that happens, our detailed Affidavits of Attempted Service provide the specific evidence (dates, times, locations, observations) that courts look for when granting these orders.
