Victims of federal crimes do not automatically receive information about the offender who harmed them. However, victims can register to receive updates and information about the offender who harmed them, including:

• Important dates and information throughout the duration of an offender's sentence
• Information on different types of absences, transfers, and releases
• Parole eligibility
• Information about the offender's correctional plan and progress
• Information about Correctional Service of Canada's victim-offender mediation services

Once registered as a victim, individuals can then register for the Victim's Portal which allows secure online information to be sent, received, and accessed.

Note: Victims can register through Correctional Service Canada or the Parole Board of Canada.
