Escalation to this office is voluntary and it could take up to 6 or 10 weeks to complete an investigation depending upon the nature and complexity of your complaint. Statutory limitation periods continue to run while the CIBC Ombudsman reviews your complaint which may impact your ability to begin a civil action.
