That's an excellent question. It's very broad as well.
You have to bear in mind, of course, that it's the individual and their situation, their victimization. All of this will determine exactly what their needs are. The impact of the crime is one thing, but their resources will determine, to some extent, the needs of the victim. For those who are new migrants, maybe even refugees, new to the country, their situation of vulnerability is often more precarious in terms of financial resources and not having the informal support network or family here in Canada to provide them with the psychosocial or emotional support that others may have.
There might be legal complications as well. There might be consequences for their status as a landed immigrant or as a refugee. In particular, I'm thinking of victims of domestic violence, for example, whose offender is a new immigrant, as they are, and not a Canadian citizen. This may have consequences for the status of the person and their ability to remain in Canada, and if it's a family, there will be consequences for all the family.
It becomes very complicated, if I can put it that way, and it requires us to bear in mind what the needs of the victim are. When are we helping the victim and when are we adding to their suffering, even indirectly? It requires us to bear in mind the complexities of the needs of new immigrants and refugees, and in particular people with a precarious status in Canada.
