In Québec, immigrants are more likely to be injured at work than people born in the province. Yet the hardest part for immigrant workers often starts after the accident, when they have to navigate a complex rehabilitation system that slows their recovery and their return to work.
My team and I have conducted several studies on the post-injury rehabilitation journeys of immigrant workers as part of our research at the Institut de recherche Robert-Sauvé en santé et en sécurité du travail (Robert Sauvé Research Institute in Occupational Health and Safety, or IRSST).
