Think something went wrong with your investment service? Don’t assume there’s nothing you can do.

You have the right to raise a complaint if you’re not satisfied with a financial product or service from a CIRO-regulated investment firm. The complaint process is there to help clients seek resolution—and firms have a responsibility to address complaints fairly and promptly.

Know your rights. Know the process. Speak up.

Not every investment complaint falls within CIRO / OCRI's jurisdiction.

If your concern involves a securities issuer—or its directors, officers or employees—CIRO may not be the right place to turn.

This resource is for anyone supporting clients with investing concerns, complaints, fraud or scams, and explains what options may be available when a complaint falls outside CIRO’s mandate.

Would you rather have $50 today or $75 next month?

Our brains often favour the reward we can have right now—even when waiting could leave us better off. This is known as present bias, and it can influence everything from spending to saving and financial planning.

Understanding this behaviour is one step toward making more intentional financial decisions � https://learninghub.prospercanada.org/knowledge/living-for-today/
