Thank you for your interest in becoming a CV Mystery Shopper!

CV Mystery Shopping is a division of CV Marketing Research, a full-service market research firm located in Abbotsford, BC, Canada (about an hour east of Vancouver). We have a diverse client list but we specialize in hospitality, automotive, traditional retail, and personal care. We currently have shops in Canada and the United States.

A Mystery Shopper is an independent contractor who anonymously visits or phones our clients and records their experience in detail, based on surveys we have created. Typical questions ask about your satisfaction with the service, products, and cleanliness.

There is no cost to become a Mystery Shopper with us. Some shops may require that you pay for the items before we reimburse you, but at no time will you be asked to pay a "membership fee".

If you have questions about how we run our mystery shopping programs, click on "ABOUT", and then "FAQs for Shoppers" for answers to frequently asked questions including information about payment, applying for shops, what qualities we look for in our Shoppers, etc.

In the Mystery Shopper application, you will create your own login information, including a username and password. You will NOT be automatically receiving your username or password by email after you have completed the application, so make sure you write down your username and password for future reference, as you will need both to login to this site. We recommend that you write this information on a piece of paper that you can store for future reference. (If you write it on a paper, you don't risk losing it if your computer crashes).

After you have followed these steps, and successfully completed the application you will be able to login to this site by clicking on the "shopper login" and typing in your username and password. You will then be able to see all available shops and apply for shops.
