How to Report Suspected Mortgage Fraud


If you suspect that you might be a victim or target of a scam or mortgage fraud or you are aware of a broker who is committing mortgage fraud you can put an end to the scam or fraud by reporting it. As a first step, report the matter to your local police. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can also submit a tip to Crime Stoppers (1-800-222-TIPS) or to the Canadian Anti‑Fraud Centre. If you wish to obtain legal advice, please note that the Law Society in your province has services to help you find a legal professional.

Mortgage brokering in Canada is overseen by the following provincial regulators, from East to West. To report suspected mortgage fraud to your provincial regulator, contact:
