Poster abstract: The objective of this scoping review was to identify the key themes in the experiences of unpaid cancer caregivers who are newcomers and individuals with limited language proficiency with the dominant language of their country of residence. A scoping review was conducted from April to May 2020 using seven databases. Controlled vocabulary terms and text words were used to maximize search results. Three independent reviewers conducted title, abstract and full-text screening. A total of 55 studies were included. Five domains of challenges were identified including healthcare system access, relationships with healthcare providers, extended family, patients, and personal challenges.
