    The Many Faces of Brazilian Immigrants in Ontario
    (Brazil-Angola Community Information Centre, 2009) Magalhaes, Lilian ; Gastaldo, Denise ; Martinelli, Guilherme ; Hentges, Adao ; Dowbor, Tatiana Pluciennik
    The first part of the report concentrates on a quantitative and qualitative description of the study respondents. The respondents are characterized according to: 1) sociodemographic data; 2) immigration and adaptation aspects; 3) family and social aspects; 4) labour aspects, and 5) social representations. The second part of the report covers points of analysis relating to all of the study respondents. In the third part, the respondents were sub-divided according to their migratory status in Canada. In that part these authors present: 1) a brief description of the group of immigrants living and working in Ontario without any legal status to do so, and 2) a more detailed description of the group of permanent residents and of Brazilians who already have Canadian citizenship. In conclusion, we present some final considerations and recommendations for programs, policies and future studies.

    Undocumented Migrants in Canada: A Scope Literature Review on Health, Access to Services, and Working Conditions
    (Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health, 2010) Magalhaes, Lilian ; Carrasco, Christine ; Gastaldo, Denise
    Abstract It is estimated that there are 30–40 million undocumented workers worldwide. Although undocumented migration has become an issue of high international relevance, it has been strikingly understudied in Canada, especially with respect to its impact on health. The purpose of this study is to explore the concept of undocumentedness in Canada through a scoping review of peer-reviewed and grey literature written in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish between 2002 and 2008. The specific aims are to: (i)summarize and disseminate current academic and community-based findings on the health, service access and working conditions of undocumented migrants in Canada; (ii)examine the sources and use of evidence; (iii) identify significant gaps in existing knowledge; (iv) set recommendations for policy and research, including considerations on transnationalism, ethics, interdisciplinary approaches, gender differences, resilience, and impact on the children of nonstatus parents.
