Ontario has no general unclaimed property program or public search. Its Escheats Act, 2015 covers forfeited and Crown property, not a lost-money registry. Here's where Ontarians can still look.
Free to search. You can do it yourself. Official programs don't charge to search, and most charge nothing to claim (a few, like Alberta, may charge an administration fee). You don't need to pay a "finder". GuidePointBC links you to the official sites and doesn't keep your details.
