Directive 3.8 from Quebec's crime-victim compensation authority states that certain medical cannabis products may be reimbursed when they are authorized by a physician or nurse practitioner to eliminate or reduce a physical disability resulting from harm caused by a criminal offence.
Documents named in the directive
The request must include, among other things, a copy of the medical document and the registration document from the licensed seller. The product claimed must follow the medical document. A clinical authorization or submission of documents does not guarantee a favourable IVAC decision.
What is excluded
The directive excludes consumption accessories such as rolling papers, pipes, vaporizers and vaping devices, as well as tools, accessories and other expenses related to personal cannabis production.
IVAC, CNESST and SAAQ follow different rules
IVAC applies to certain people affected by a criminal offence. CNESST is a separate scheme for workplace injuries. SAAQ stated in 2025 that Quebec's public automobile insurance plan does not reimburse cannabis expenses because cannabis is not covered by the public prescription-drug plan. We guide you according to the organization actually connected to your file without presenting one scheme as equivalent to another.
