Abstract

Despite the recent media attention on the issue of risks and consequences related to COVID-19 among various marginalized communities inQuebec,we still hear very little about immigrant older adults and their families. In this Policy and Practice Note,we discuss the experience of the pandemic amongMontreal's immigrant older adults and their social networks. First, we provide some sociodemographic data on older immigrants in Montreal. We then present our findings related to the impact of COVID-19 on older immigrants, particularly in terms of access to health and social care, family support, employment and housing, building upon our own work and the social gerontology literature. We conclude by proposing recommendations to support the inclusion of older immigrants and their families, addressing discrimination in both public policy and practice.
