The Complaint Form must be filed with the Tribunal via mail, fax, or e-mail. As of July 2020, online filing is also an option. Complainants may access the Complaint Form and other valuable resources at the BC Human Rights Tribunal website (see '''Section II.B: Resources'''). The party filing the complaint should be aware of the time limits. There is a '''one-year''' limitation period. Late-filed complaints may be accepted under certain very limited circumstances. The BC Human Rights Tribunal has also been severely backlogged over the last couple of years. Potential complainants should be aware that it may take up to a year for a case to be screened and accepted for filing.
