One free Carfax
Only one vehicle check though...although I'm sure with multiple email and mailing addresses you could work around that. 
Clicky
Works for Canada too...although the report I did on my car wasn't exactly accurate...

Yeah, I just tried it about 20 mins ago and it goes back to the main page. Must have been a limited time promo...
I probably wouldn't trust Carfax with a Canadian car anyways - especially when there's plenty of other better options. Personally, I used this when I bought my car.
When I checked my car it said there were no accidents on my car when I know for a fact there is one accident from 2 years ago.

imo carfax is useless,
I had some leftover checks a while ago so I did some of my buddy's VIN's every single one came out clean even a few cars that had around 5 decs on the ICBC report.

Carfax for some reason doesn't show accident's. Only shows new owner reports and registration renewal. Useless.

It only shows it if it's been reported to ICBC apparently. So if it's settled privately, it won't show up.

It doesn't. My friend's car got into accident last year 2 times and was reported to ICBC. It still shows up as no accident. Maybe has to be above $2500?
