Escalate your complaint
If a satisfactory resolution can’t be reached, you can ask that the matter be referred to Aviva’s Office of the Complaint Examiner (OCE). They will objectively review all points of view and attempt to find a solution if one is available. If required, they will issue a Final Position Letter.
They will examine a complaint once the business unit involved has reviewed it or where required in Quebec.
You can contact OCE in the following ways:
- 1-877-689-3634
- plainte-complaint.ca@aviva.com

If you’re still unhappy
If you’re still unsatisfied with Aviva’s decision, you can refer the matter to the General Insurance OmbudsService (GIO) who will open a case for review once you have received a Final Position Letter from Aviva.
The GIO helps resolve conflicts between insurance companies and their customers, for home, automobile and business insurance issues, free of charge.
GIO uses neutral and professional mediators and experienced customer service officers to reach a solution that is in the best interest of customers and their insurance companies, in a fair, independent and impartial environment.
