Dear Birddog681. I think you misunderstood the law. Incalls ARE LEGAL!!! However operating a bowdy house (brothels) and/or where there are multiple providers which can be interpreted as brothels are ILLEGAL. It got overturned not a long ago and only in Ontario (where Toronto is), it is legal starting from 2013 to operate a brothel and/or to hire security.

Hope this helps!

Hi BD - A few things, first I can't speak for anyone but myself and hotel verification is sometimes okay but not always. With agencies a lot of them will verify both through your number as well as the hotel room, that's pretty standard, with independents the individuals screening process is really up to the individual. In all cases it is best to speak to the individual or agency in advance and address your concern. No one is looking to make things difficult for the client rather it's a balancing act of the individuals right to privacy and each individuals comfort level in regards to security - even within an agency some ladies may request higher screening levels than other ladies, however with a bit of advance planning and an open and honest dialogue I am sure most will be able to address your concerns and help you find a way to meet someone you are interested in seeing.

In regards to the legalities, incalls are and always have been a grey area in Canadian law, by the most strict interpretation an incall is not legal and a common bawdy house is one whether it is one lady in it or several - there is nothing in the definition of it that states there must be 2 or more persons working out of a location at a time that I am aware of though if someone would like to correct me on that I am happy to stand corrected. That being said depending on the municipality you are in the level of enforcement on that has been rather varied. I think the most important thing to remember and this goes for any city you visit is to be a smart consumer, avoid anyone that you even remotely believe could be underage, trafficked or "at risk" as this tends to be the market the police will concentrate their efforts on (and rightly so).
As for if it will be legal in the future, I do not really know, yes the Ontario Supreme Court ruled that it will be but there is still room for appeal and having a conservative government in place there is still a year for a possible legislative debate. I am hopeful that the women at SPOC (Sex Professionals of Canada) will be able to keep their work moving forward and in such a positive direction as they've done a great job so far but it's still a year away and I'm not one for counting chickens before they hatch.

kyra_to, chanelpearl thank you both for your very helpful and informative replies.  I'll keep all that in mind and do my research before my visit.
