Welcome to the Office of the Fairness Commissioner

The Office of the Fairness Commissioner is an independent agency of the government of Ontario. Our goal is to make sure that people are treated fairly when they apply to become licensed professionals in one of Ontario’s regulated professions, no matter where they were trained. This goal is widely supported in Ontario, and reflects the principles and core values of the people of this province. Read more about the office’s mandate...
