This research examined immigrant workers’ experiences after a work-related injury, including issues such as their experiences with the workers’ compensation system, and their knowledge of, and willingness to, invoke their rights. The researchers aimed to identify key research gaps regarding these issues in the B.C. context and to build connections with community stakeholders

The researchers aimed to identify key research gaps regarding these issues in the B.C. context and to link researchers with community stakeholders. The research findings may also be used to inform more comprehensive research on injured immigrant workers in B.C

The forum allowed connections to be made across disciplines and geography. It is hoped that these connections will lead to more research on immigration, work and health in B.C. that makes full use of the interest, people and resources available. Participants were also able to identify a range of knowledge and policy gaps for future research
