HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS REPORT:

This report explores how the unique trajectories and social locations of migrant youth with precarious immigration status intersect with access to and involvement in Ontario high schools. Newcomer youth that are marked with less than stable immigration status face multiple barriers that prevent their full and equitable participation in Ontario secondary schools.

Visitors, refugee claimants, temporary residents, and non-status youth are among the populations that are either barred access to or have disengaging and inequitable experiences within Ontario high schools. Furthermore, less than permanent immigration status often intersects with other vulnerabilities to amplify existing oppressions, and produce multiple negative impacts.
