Not sure what the Canadian equivalent is, but in the U.S. Carfax saved me a ton of time when shopping for a used car. Just plug in the VIN and you could find out right away if there car's been in an accident, how many owners it's had, whether it was a company car etc.
It saved me a ton of time as I could cross out what I thought were promising cars before I even left my chair. Highly recommended.
