In Quebec, there is a provision that allows a person who is a victim of a criminal offence to receive financial assistance and entitles him or her to a range of adapted services. This act is entitled to assist victims of criminal offences and promote their recovery.

This government program is administered by the l'indemnisation des victimes d'actes criminels (IVAC) general management. Under certain conditions, it pays compensation to crime victims and their families, whether it be for financial assistance in connection with a death, loss of income, professional reorientation, social reintegration, health care or physical rehabilitation, psychological assistance, replacement of material goods or other.

To learn more, you are invited to consult the IVAC website or to contact the IVAC's General management at 1-800-561‑4822.
