You may reach the Office of the Ombudsman at:

Northbridge

The Ombudsman’s Office will acknowledge receipt of your complaint or concern within two business days, and provide you with a response immediately following the completion of its investigation.
If Northbridge’s Office of the Ombudsman is unable to resolve your complaint or concern to your satisfaction, it will provide you with a final position letter explaining Northbridge’s position, and advising you that you may escalate your complaint outside of Northbridge to the General Insurance OmbudService (“GIO”) for dispute resolution. The GIO is an independent organization that assists Canadian consumers with most disputes concerning their home, auto, or business insurance that they have been unable to resolve with their insurer. For more information about the GIO, visit their website at http://www.giocanada.org/ or call toll free at the following numbers:

In Quebec, if you are not satisfied with the result of the examination of your complaint or with the examination itself, you may ask the Office of the Ombudsman to transfer your file to the Autorité des marches financiers (“AMF”). You may exercise this right only upon the expiry of the maximum time limit allowed for obtaining a final answer, but without exceeding a period of one year following receipt of this answer. The transferred file shall include all the documents regarding the complaint. The AMF examines all complaints received and may recommend mediation if deemed advisable and the parties agree. Please note that the AMF does not provide monetary compensation with respect to consumer claims (other than cases covered under its specific programs). Compliance with the rules governing the protection of personal information shall remain the responsibility of the Office of the Ombudsman.
The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (“FCAC”) is an independent government body responsible for supervising financial institutions to ensure they comply with federal consumer-oriented laws and regulations (called “consumer provisions”). If you have a complaint about an obligation of Northbridge under a consumer provision, you may contact the FCAC in writing at Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, 6th Floor Enterprise Building, 427 Laurier Ave. West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1R 1B9.
