Immigration and refugee policies in Canada have a significant impact on individuals with precarious or no status who need access to health care. These policies are constantly evolving, often as a reflection of political concerns about immigration and refugee issues. This webinar seeks to inform healthcare providers and settlement workers about recent policy changes and their impact on access to healthcare, anticipated future policies, and the reasons behind these policies. It will draw on examples of past challenges in accessing health care for individuals with precarious status to reflect on how to manage future issues. Learning Objectives: Discuss past and anticipated immigration and refugee policies that impact health care for individuals with precarious status. Determine the impact of these policies on individuals who have precarious or no status in Canada. Recall on the reasons behind the creation of these polices.
