File a Complaint Against a CSIS Agent
With the Director of CSIS
A complaint can be made with respect to any act or thing done by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. If you have already made a complaint to CSIS and they have not responded or you are dissatisfied with the response you can make a complaint to the Security Intelligence Review Committee, the oversight body for CSIS.
Complaints will not be investigated if they are regarded as "trivial, frivolous, vexatious or made in bad faith".
