Not a Government Agency
The Canadian Compliance Bureau is an independent compliance and consumer advocacy organization. We are not a government agency, regulatory body, or law enforcement organization. We do not have the authority to impose fines, issue orders, or prosecute violations of law.
Where our investigations identify conduct that may violate federal or provincial legislation, we may refer matters to the appropriate regulatory authorities, including the Competition Bureau of Canada and provincial consumer protection offices.

References to specific legislation (such as the Competition Act, the Ontario Consumer Protection Act, or other provincial statutes) are provided for informational purposes. For the authoritative text of any statute, consult the official government source or a qualified legal professional.
Complaint Outcomes
Filing a complaint with the CCB does not guarantee any specific outcome, including investigation, enforcement action, or financial recovery. The CCB reviews all complaints and exercises discretion in determining which matters to investigate and which to refer to regulatory authorities.
