MMIPS Canada

How MMIPS Canada works

MMIPS Canada helps families, authorized advocates, Indigenous community representatives, and official contacts share reviewed public information safely. Nothing becomes public automatically.

Report a missing person first.

If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

Contact the police service of jurisdiction as soon as you are concerned for a person's safety. There is no 24-hour waiting period to report someone missing.

1. Send information for review

When Canadian intake is open, information goes into a private review queue. The public cannot see a raw submission.

2. Review for safety

MMIPS checks permission, police or official contacts, safe location wording, photos, and which details should stay private.

3. Publish only approved information

Only reviewed public information appears on a profile or map. Private family contact information, notes, and exact sensitive locations stay private.

4. Correct or remove

Families and authorized contacts can ask for changes when information is wrong, unsafe, outdated, or should no longer be public.

How the Canada map works

The map shows approved Canadian public-awareness areas instead of exact private locations. It does not show private homes, shelters, family locations, or sensitive exact coordinates.

First Nations, Inuit and Métis information

MMIPS Canada keeps these identities distinct. When affiliation information is shown, the goal is to use the Nation, community, Inuit region, or Métis government/community name that is appropriate for that person and approved for public display.

What stays private

Raw submissions, family contact information, private notes, exact sensitive locations, internal review information, and other details not approved for public sharing stay private.

What MMIPS Canada does not do

MMIPS is not police, an emergency service, or an investigative tip line. Send case tips to the police service or official tip contact listed on a public profile.
