FSRA regulates the insurance industry in Ontario and provides a final resort for the resolution of complaints about the business practices (market conduct) of insurance companies. If you believe that Ontario's Insurance Act and/or regulations have been violated by your insurance company, agent or adjuster, you can contact FSRA. See How to Resolve an Insurance Complaint.
Insurance companies in Ontario are required to designate a complaints officer to receive consumer complaints about business practices, and to refer unresolved complaints to an independent third party for review. Most insurance companies are members of a national industry OmbudService. Where this is not the case, FSRA generally acts as the independent third party.
To file a complaint with FSCO, complete and submit the Insurance Business Activity Complaint Form.
