Your questions, answered

What is IVAC?

IVAC (Indemnisation des victimes d'actes criminels) is a Quebec government program that provides financial assistance and rehabilitation services to victims of crime. It covers therapy, psychosocial support, and other services for people affected by violent crimes, including assault, sexual violence, and domestic violence. IVAC is not related to the medical device sometimes called an IVAC pump.

Who is eligible for IVAC benefits?

IVAC covers direct victims of crimes affecting physical or psychological integrity (assault, sexual violence, domestic violence, etc.), family members of victims who died or suffered serious harm, witnesses to crimes, and Good Samaritans injured while helping victims. The crime must have occurred in Quebec, or you must be a Quebec resident if it occurred elsewhere. If you are looking to address a particular issue, some good examples are Depression counselling, Anxiety therapists, or EMDR therapy therapists to start your recovery.

Do I need to file a police report to use IVAC?

No, you do not need to file a police report to apply for IVAC benefits. IVAC conducts its own investigation to determine eligibility. Many victims choose not to report crimes to police, and IVAC recognizes this. You can still access therapy with IVAC therapists and other rehabilitation services without police involvement.

Do I have to pay upfront for therapy with IVAC?

No, IVAC offers direct billing, which means your therapist bills IVAC directly and you pay nothing out of pocket. This is different from most private insurance in Canada, where you typically pay first and submit claims for reimbursement. Find therapists who accept IVAC to access this benefit.

Is there a time limit to apply for IVAC?

For domestic violence, sexual violence, and childhood abuse, there is no time limit to apply for IVAC. You can apply even decades after the crime occurred. For other crimes, you generally have 3 years from when you became aware of the harm, though exceptions may be granted. Connect with trauma therapists who can support your healing process.

What mental health professionals can I see through IVAC?

IVAC covers psychotherapy with psychologists and OPQ-licensed psychotherapists, as well as psychosocial services with social workers, psychoeducators, occupational therapists, guidance counsellors, and sexologists. The maximum reimbursement rate is $94.50 per hour. Direct victims receive sessions based on their rehabilitation plan, while family members may receive up to 30 sessions.

How long does it take to get IVAC benefits?

Processing times vary depending on the complexity of your file and the volume of applications. Some applicants receive a decision within a few months, while others wait longer. You can check the status of your application through IVAC's online portal. In the meantime, some therapists may begin sessions and bill IVAC once your file is approved.

Is IVAC income taxable?

IVAC benefits for therapy and rehabilitation services are generally not considered taxable income. However, certain types of IVAC compensation, such as income replacement benefits, may have tax implications. Consult a tax professional or contact IVAC directly to clarify how your specific benefits are treated at tax time.
