Precarity, Everyday Lives, and Access to Justice: Precarious Status Migrants Seeking Legal Aid in Rural Southern Ontario
Wilfrid Laurier University's Centre for Research on Security Practices (WLU) will conduct an in-depth mixed methods qualitative case study to examine the experiences of migrants with precarious status seeking legal assistance in rural Southern Ontario (including farm workers, temporary workers, refugee claimants, international students, and people without immigration status). WLU will document the ways in which this community accesses legal services and its impact on their everyday lives. This study will benefit migrants with precarious status and will provide empirical insights for the clinics of rural Southern Ontario that can inform more effective service provision.
