Canadian Process Serving Inc. provides professional and reliable process serving and legal document delivery across Prince Edward Island. Our local servers in Charlottetown ensure your legal documents are delivered promptly and in accordance with PEI’s Rules of Civil Procedure.
Provincial Expertise
Our team is experienced in handling all types of legal document service throughout Prince Edward Island. We are highly familiar with procedures at the Sir Louis Henry Davies Law Courts in Charlottetown and are equipped to manage serves efficiently across the island. Whether service is required in the capital, in Summerside, or in the smaller communities across Kings, Queens, and Prince counties, our servers know the Island inside and out.
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 Prince Edward Island, this consumes valuable time and legal fees. We put in the extra work upfront to secure personal service whenever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions (Prince Edward Island)
What is the Small Claims limit in Prince Edward Island?
The monetary limit for Small Claims Court in Prince Edward Island is $16,000 (excluding interest and costs). Claims exceeding this amount must be filed with the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island (General Division).
Can you serve originating documents in PEI?
Yes. Originating documents such as a Statement of Claim or Notice of Application generally require personal service on the defendant. Our process servers handle personal service throughout Prince Edward Island, ensuring your documents are delivered properly and your Affidavit of Service holds up in court.
Can you serve a corporation in Prince Edward Island?
Yes. We have nearly 40 years of experience serving corporations across Canada, including on officers, directors, and agents, as well as at places of business. We ensure service is completed in a manner that will hold up in court.
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.
