Complaints

The Canadian Human Rights Commission tries to resolve complaints of discrimination filed against federally regulated employers, unions and service providers. If a complaint cannot be resolved, the Commission may investigate the case further, and may ultimately request that the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal hear the case.

To file a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission, fill in the Inquiries Questionnaire or contact us by telephone, e-mail, facsimile or mail.  The Commission will then contact you to provide basic information about the Commission and the Canadian Human Rights Act, and will inform you if a complaint can be filed with the Commission.  If so, the officer will send a kit to you so that a complaint form can be filed.  If not, staff will try to suggest another alternative or organization that can help.
