CANADA-WIDE FRAUD VICTIM HELP & SUPPORT DIRECTORY
Phone • Email • Victim Services • Fraud Reporting • Support
Fraud can have financial, emotional and psychological consequences. The resources below can help victims report fraud, understand their options, locate victim services and find additional assistance in their province or territory.
Victim-services eligibility and available supports vary across Canada. Some programs require police involvement or are primarily intended for victims involved in the criminal-justice system. If one service cannot assist you directly, ask whether they can refer you to an appropriate local resource.
