Migrants with precarious status (MPS) are an understudied population. Yet there are indications that they could be particularly vulnerable and confronted to health inequalities. This review of Canadian and international literature highlights that MPS, like other migrants, are confronted with deleterious living conditions and multiple obstacles to access healthcare. However, their status brings additional challenges and harmful health determinants. The situation of MPS may well be similar in Canada, where they could be numerous. Therefore it is crucial to better document this issue within the Canadian context. Part B of this article, reported elsewhere, further explores this topic.
移民身份不稳定者（MPS）是一个研究不足的群体。然而，有迹象表明，他们可能特别脆弱，面临健康不平等问题。对加拿大和国际文献的回顾强调，MPS 与其他移民一样，面临恶劣的生活条件和获得医疗保健的多重障碍。然而，他们的身份带来了额外的挑战和有害的健康决定因素。MPS 的情况在加拿大可能也类似，因为那里可能有很多这样的人。因此，在加拿大背景下更好地记录这个问题至关重要。本文的第二部分（见其他地方）进一步探讨了这个话题。
