As a consumer, you can search for a business name or search by city, province, and phone number on the home page as a consumer. You only need the last four digits of a phone number to find a business if it is on our system.
The category search functions have automatic dropdowns that populate according to your search criteria.
In the first search, we placed Saskatoon as the city and are looking for roofing contractors. See the complete video below.
In the More Search Options, the consumer can narrow their search by picking the business’s credentials they want the company to have. The owner of the business places their credentials in the standard credential area. If they are contractors, they also set their credentials as contractors.
It is important to note that any credential listed must be accurate. If the business places credentials in their profile that they do not have, that violates the Terms of Service for the Safe and Trusted Canada Site. The business will have an alert on its business profile for one year before archiving the company. Please note that A F-rating with Better Business Bureau cannot apply for account status.
Businesses can be part of the Request equote program. They need to have a premium account.
The consumer places their name, phone number and email address into the form. Give as much detail as possible so the business can call you back to set up an appointment. The consumer selects the company they want to receive a quote from, which is all there is to it.
Safe and Trusted Canada vets the request to ensure the business receives requests from actual consumers before sending it out to the company.
The Site automatically reduces the subscription to an Information Only profile should the subscription be cancelled. The company may also be archived.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE PLACE THE FOLLOWING CONTENT INTO EVERY PROFILE
-
- Information Only Profiles are advertised to the public on the internet.
- As a matter of policy, the Site does not recommend, accredit, suggest, promote, or validate any business. Consumers do that through reviews.
- The Site provides public links to review sites that permit us to publish those links.
- The Site provides private links to all other trademarked review sites about the business directly only through their account access.
- Subscription types give business owners different advertising options, but the Site does not suggest that credibility determines the subscription level.
- Users can use the Credentials Search’s advanced features to determine the degree of reliability for each business.
- It is the responsibility of the user to check the credentials advertised by the business.
- Notify Site Admin immediately where the business is advertising credentials they do not have or information is not current.
- The company and the consumer entirely determine transactions with each other.
- Safe and Trusted Canada does not mediate complaints, issues, or concerns.
- Seek legal advice for complex transactions.
- Protect your interests, as the removal of the business, may occur at any time.
