Reports
Multiple Jeopardy is the second report from a collaboration between the CEP project and FCJ Refugee Centre. It examines the complex impacts of the pandemic on non-status migrants (NSMs) in the GTA focusing on families, health, and work. How did this already highly vulnerable population cope? How did the additional jeopardy of precarious immigration status intersect with low-income work, racialization and gender to shape experiences? The document describes the harmful and potentially long-lasting impacts of the pandemic for this population. It details strategies and key points of support that contributed to their ability to survive amid enormous stress. Our findings also reveal the limited effectiveness of policy change when the specific needs of a target population are ignored, and when policy changes are not effectively communicated.
