THE HIDDEN AND NOT-SO-HIDDEN CASUALTY OF COVID-19 As the homeless population is made more physically visible by our fight against COVID-19, there is another group that is even less visible, namely, people with precarious immigration status in Canada. This group is made up of failed refugee claimants, people who have overstayed their visas, families who are seeking to stay in Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, among others, all of whom are eking out a living by doing cash jobs in restaurants, factories, the construction trades, etc. They are among the first to lose their jobs as non-essential businesses get shut down. But they are the last to receive any kind of public support at this time of economic and social crisis. https://csalc.ca/hidden-not-hidden-casualty-covid-19/
