Based on your answer, the Ontario Human Rights Code may not apply to your situation.
The Ontario Human Rights Code only relates to discrimination, harassment or reprisal that happened in Ontario or is connected to Ontario through the job, landlord or service location.
You may be able to get help from a human rights agency located elsewhere. The web sites for other human rights agencies in Canada are:
- Alberta
- British Columbia
- Manitoba
- New Brunswick
- Newfoundland and Labrador
- Nova Scotia
- Prince Edward Island
- Quebec
- Saskatchewan
- Canadian Human Rights Commission – for claims against the federal government or federally regulated businesses such as airlines and banks.
