Join us for a one-day conference at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) on access to justice for migrants with precarious status.

📅 Date: Saturday, September 19, 2026
⏰ Time: 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM
📌 Place: Room POD-250, Toronto Metropolitan University, Toronto*

Migrants with precarious legal status face barriers that are not accidental — they are built into an immigration system that institutionalizes uncertainty. As migrants navigate uncertain pathways to secure status and restricted access to essential services, vulnerability to workplace exploitation and limited resources, the city becomes a place where sanctuary, solidarity, and access politics are tested daily.

This one-day conference brings together frontline practitioners, grassroots organizations, academics, and migrants themselves to bridge research, advocacy, and practice around what justice in the city actually requires.

Panel Discussions topics include:

• Producing and Negotiating Precarious Legal Status Trajectories
• Solidarity: Grassroots Community Building and Justice Organizing
• Living and Contesting Precarity in the City, Part 1: Health
• Living and Contesting Precarity in the City, Part 2: Work

Please register here by September 7, by completing the online form.

Organized by the Chair Migrant Protection & International Law | Chaire protection migrant·e·s & droit international, FCJ Refugee Centre, and Soli*City – An International Partnership Project, with the financial support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and the Law Commission of Canada | Commission du droit du Canada.
