How does anti-immigration sentiment shape the experiences of immigrants and refugees with disabilities in Canada?

Join us for a thought-provoking session that illuminates the unique challenges at the intersection of disability, migration, and belonging. Together, we’ll explore how anti-immigration attitudes and systemic barriers impact the lives of newcomers with disabilities, and how these forces shape access, opportunity, and inclusion.

We’ll unpack how immigration status compounds barriers to employment, community connection, and support—and identify strategies to foster resilience, amplify the voices of immigrants and refugees with disabilities, and cultivate truly inclusive workplaces and communities.

This virtual professional development session is an opportunity to connect with peers across regions, reflect on the lived realities of immigrant and refugee communities, and strengthen your IDEA practices with actionable tools to address bias and build belonging.

✨ Exclusive to members of the IDEA Practitioners and Professionals Network—a community of changemakers committed to advancing Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility at the intersection of race, disability, and migration.
