NCC Ombudsman

If you have a complaint that the NCC has been unable to resolve, you can contact the NCC ombudsman. The NCC ombudsman works independently and confidentially to resolve complaints when avenues within the NCC have been exhausted.

- Requests that require follow-up by an NCC subject matter expert: response within five business days
- Complex requests or complaints: up to 10 business days for response
Service is offered from Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5 pm. In peak periods, a message informs callers of the approximate wait time. Callers can leave a message. The NCC’s client services will call back the same day or the following business day. Response time varies with the nature of the request/complaint.

- Simple requests : immediate response
- Requests that require follow-up by an NCC subject matter expert: response by telephone within three business days
