It is crucial to understand how the most vulnerable populations have been impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This paper intends to contextualize the experience of resettled refugees in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic, framing the issue for further study as the situation evolves. Based on the experience drawn from the first wave of the pandemic, the findings of this paper suggest that refugees in Canada encounter barriers to healthcare, economic support, education, social support, and border crossing impediments, all of which can have a compounding effect. These findings provide needed information to inform the development of effective policies and strategies to support refugees during health security emergencies in Canada.
了解弱势群体如何受到持续的 COVID-19 大流行的影响至关重要。本文旨在将加拿大重新安置难民在 COVID-19 大流行期间的经历置于背景下，随着情况的发展为进一步研究提出问题。基于大流行第一波的经验，本文的研究结果表明，加拿大的难民在获得医疗保健、经济支持、教育、社会支持和过境障碍方面都面临障碍，所有这些都会产生叠加效应。这些发现为制定有效的政策和战略提供了必要的信息，以支持加拿大在卫生安全紧急情况下的难民。
