Description:
A provincial law bans immigrants from receiving health insurance for the first three months of their permit, shutting them out of the healthcare system and forcing many to refuse urgent care. This campaign has used public consultations and demonstrations to demand change, and is also engaged in documenting the experiences of immigrants around access to healthcare.
How people can help:
If you have had problems getting care, contact us!
The IWC is a membership-based organization, democratically controlled by the people that run it and use its services. Contact us to find out how you can join by our email or phone or just drop in our center from Monday to Friday from 1pm to 5pm
