PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR

CERTIFIED CYBER INTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATOR

Stephanie Moir

With over a decade of experience as a private investigator, I have successfully handled thousands of cases, offering a comprehensive range of investigative services. My expertise includes heir tracing, genealogical and adoption research, insurance fraud investigations, infidelity cases, WSIB investigations, technical surveillance countermeasures (T.S.C.M.), locates, asset searches, background investigations, property searches, and surveillance.

During the course of my career, I’ve developed strong working relationships with colleagues around the world—including across North America, South America, Europe, and Africa. These global connections allow me to take on complex, cross-border investigations with confidence, speed, and discretion. I work with private clients, corporate entities, and government agencies, providing tailored solutions for a wide variety of investigative needs.

I founded Raven Research & Investigations with a clear mission: to redefine the private investigation industry by fostering trust, transparency, and professionalism. Too often, investigative work is perceived as intimidating or inaccessible, and my goal has always been to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable seeking answers. Every case is approached with integrity and a client-focused mindset to provide clear results and peace of mind.

Beyond my investigative work, I bring a diverse background across several industries, including hospitality, senior care, retail, developmental services, federal government, property management, and web design. This broad experience gives me a unique perspective and the ability to understand and adapt to a wide range of client needs—both personal and corporate.

I also welcome opportunities for B2B collaboration and am always open to discussing how my services can support other investigators, law firms, estate administrators, or international firms navigating Canadian matters. If you're interested in connecting, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

  • I can’t say enough good things about Steph. She took on my case with only a name and a date to go off of, but was able to procure an entire library of data, history and facts regarding my request. I had been entertaining the idea of finding my birth parents for some time and she went above and beyond to ensure I was able to get some answers. She was diligent, timely, and remained in constant communication for updates. Above all she was empathetic. These situations are often difficult to process but how she handled my case was with equal amounts precision and compassion. If anyone is thinking of hiring an investigator, then look no further than Steph. At the end of the day what she truly provides, is closure. And that, is something you can’t put a price on.
