Step-by-Step Guide: How to Book Your Appointment
Follow this exact sequence of actions to schedule a meeting with a financial planner through the secure CIBC digital portal:
- Navigate to the official CIBC website and locate the Sign In button at the top of the page.
- Enter your debit or credit card number and your password, then click Sign In.
- From your main account dashboard, open the menu and navigate to the Customer Services section.
- Scroll down and select Meet with us or Book an appointment.
- Select your reason for meeting by choosing a topic like Investment Planning or Retirement.
- Choose your preferred meeting format (online, phone, or branch location), pick an available date and time slot, and click Confirm to finalize your booking.
Pro-Tip: Efficiency Hack: To instantly link your financial portfolio to your appointment, ensure you book your meeting while fully authenticated inside the CIBC Mobile Banking app. This bypasses manual data entry, automatically pre-fills your contact details, and allows the advisor to review your current CIBC GoalPlanner metrics before the meeting starts—saving you 15 minutes of introductory paperwork.
Troubleshooting Common Booking Issues
If you encounter roadblocks while trying to schedule your advisory session online, look for these three common pain points:
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Delays: When logging in to access the booking portal, you may be prompted to enter a one-time verification code. If the SMS code is delayed, request it via email or voice call to bypass cellular network congestion.
- Browser Errors: The interactive booking calendar relies heavily on JavaScript. If the calendar fails to load or the time slots are unclickable, clear your browser cache and cookies, disable any ad-blocking extensions temporarily, or switch to an incognito window.
- Locked Online ID: If you enter an incorrect password multiple times, your CIBC profile will lock, preventing you from booking online. Use the Forgot Password feature to reset your access with your card details, or call telephone banking directly to schedule the appointment over the phone.
Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an existing CIBC client to book a meeting?
While existing clients benefit from integrated tools like CIBC GoalPlanner, non-clients can still use the public-facing CIBC website to select Meet with us as a guest to explore transitioning their wealth management to the bank.
What is CIBC Imperial Service, and how do I access it?
CIBC Imperial Service is a premium advisory tier designed for clients with more complex financial needs or higher investable assets. If you qualify, your standard financial planner can seamlessly upgrade your profile to connect you with a dedicated Imperial Service advisor.
