About Aviva’s complaint procedure
Aviva Canada has filed its complaint procedure with the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC), an independent government body that regulates consumer provisions relating to financial services, including insurance.

If you have a concern about the way Aviva Canada handled your particular issue, you may contact the FCAC for information on how to address the situation. The FCAC determines the nature of a complaint and if there is a breach of the law, it takes action to ensure compliance by the financial institution.

The FCAC does not provide personal redress (i.e., compensation or monetary award); its focus is to ensure that institutions comply with the law. For more information, visit: www.fcac-acfc.gc.ca.
