Homelessness and suicidality: How do new emigrants confront the dilemma? Evidence from existing research conducted in Canada

Framed under a systematic review design, this study aimed to extract specific evidence of how homelessness is associated with suicidality among new emigrants to Canada. A database search strategy was adopted, and biasness in the selection of studies was avoided by consulting with two independent reviewers. 18 studies were sampled purposively. It was concluded that migration to Canada is an important component of Canadian society. However, like other social processes, there are certain cons of migration to Canada. The newly emigrated individuals confront economic vulnerability, and homelessness is one of the possible outcomes. Homelessness is directly and indirectly associated with suicidality.
