Abstract: Abstract The experiences of racialized immigrant women in Canada bring into sharp focus constructions of home and sense of belonging. Embedded within their constructions of home is a sense of security. It is this sense of security that motivated many immigrants to choose Canada as home. However, the concept of home remains elusive, and belonging is highly contested. This article explores the experiences of racialized immigrant women who are living with the paradox of home without security and security without home.
