    Why Use a Canadian Court Reporter for U.S. Depositions

    Many U.S. national court reporting agencies advertise international coverage, but often rely on third-party partners or require U.S.-based reporters to travel across the border. This can introduce unnecessary risk and delay.

    Using a Canadian court reporter located in Canada eliminates common issues such as:

    • Court reporter visa or work authorization concerns

    • Border delays or denied entry

    • Scheduling uncertainty

    • Increased administrative complexity

    Our reporters are authorized to work locally and are experienced in U.S.-style deposition procedures. The result is faster scheduling, fewer complications, and a more reliable deposition experience.
