Frequently Asked Questions

How long does crypto recovery take in Canada?

Most cases range from 14 to 90 days depending on scam type, amount lost and jurisdictional complexity. Urgent tracing within 72 hours of discovery significantly improves timelines.

Why does recovery take weeks or months?

Legal freezes, cross-border coordination and exchange compliance procedures require time. Forensic tracing is fast; legal enforcement across jurisdictions follows established procedural timelines.

Will I receive case updates during recovery?

Yes. ACS Legal provides regular email updates at each phase: assessment, forensic report, legal filing and recovery execution.

Does acting faster shorten the timeline?

Yes. Early tracing identifies freeze points before scammers move funds to uncooperative jurisdictions, often reducing total recovery time substantially.
