3. Résumé

«The narratives presented here provide substance to this theoretical position by demonstrating the complexity and necessity of this work, as well as the inherent value of this work to both care receivers and caregivers. In the context of refugee migration, this is an area of analysis that has been under-explored and more research is need to fully understand the impact of specific immigration policies on refugee caregivers, usually women. The evidence presented here, in agreement with previous research on this topic (CCR, 2004; McMichael & Ahmed, 2003; Rousseau et al., 2001), indicates that family reunification immigration policy, which aims to reunite children with parents and families with their extended families, as well as Canadian refugee immigration policy, in general, do not adequately address the care needs of the families and communities it aims to help. It is argued here that one factor leading to this policy environment has been the social and systematic devaluation of care.» (p. 63)
