  abstract = {{W}hile access to healthcare for permanent residents in {C}anada is well known, this is not the case for migrants without healthcare coverage. {T}his is the first large-scale study that examines the unmet healthcare needs of migrants without healthcare coverage in {M}ontreal. 806 participants were recruited: 436 in the community and 370 at the {NGO} clinic. {P}roportions of individuals reporting unmet healthcare needs were similar (68.4% vs. 69.8%).{T}he main reason invoked for these unmet needs was lacking money (80.6%). {S}ituations of not working or studying, not having had enough food in the past 12 months, not having a medical prescription to get medication and having had a workplace injury were all significantly associated with higher odds of having unmet healthcare needs. {U}nmet healthcare needs were more frequent among migrants without healthcare coverage than among recent immigrants or the citizens with health healthcare coverage (69%, 26%, 16%). {C}anada must take measures to enable these individuals to have access to healthcare according to their needs in order to reduce the risk of worsening their health status, something that may have an impact on the healthcare system and population health. {T}he {G}overnment of {Q}uebec announced that all individuals without any healthcare coverage will have access to {COVID}-19 related health care. {W}e hope that this right, the application of which is not yet obvious, can continue after the pandemic for all health care.},
