Thank you for your question.
That's an interesting point. In the European Union, the state where the crime was committed must compensate the victim, even if the victim is from another country.
In Quebec, the approach was changed after the adoption of a new bill to replace the compensation program, and victims can now be compensated elsewhere. If such compensation is not available, because the country or the province does not have access to a compensation program, then victims can appeal to the Quebec system. It's an interesting option.
