People who come to the Commission are able to file complaints under three acts – the Canadian Human Rights Act, the Accessible Canada Act and the Pay Equity Act.
Canadian Human Rights Act
If you believe you have experienced discrimination or harassment, you may be able to file a human rights complaint with the Commission.
The first step in filing a human rights complaint is telling us what happened, why it happened, and where you were when it happened.
Accessible Canada Act
If you have suffered harm because of a federally regulated organization’s accessibility plans, feedback processes and progress reports, you may be able to file a complaint with the Accessibility Commissioner.
If you face a barrier when dealing with an organization, your first step should be to contact the organization to let them know through their feedback process.
Pay Equity Act
If you believe that an employer or a bargaining agent has not fulfilled its obligations and responsibilities under the Pay Equity Act, you may be able to file a complaint with the Pay Equity Commissioner.
Employers, bargaining agents and non-unionized employees’ representatives should first try to resolve the dispute internally. If the issue cannot be resolved internally, please visit the page Get help to resolve a dispute for more information.
