Places of encounter: Enhancing the social and cultural participation of official language minority immigrants and refugees in Canada
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Purpose: To compare the role of community spaces in the social and cultural integration of French-speaking immigrants and refugees in two Canadian cities located outside the Francophone province of Quebec. Francophone community spaces provide opportunities for people located in predominantly Anglophone cities to live, access services and socialize in French. In considering ways in which such community spaces could act as ‘places of encounter’ between newcomer and established populations, our primary objectives were to critically examine: 1) use of these spaces by French-speaking minority immigrants and refugees for their social and cultural participation; 2) their experiences of inclusion and exclusion within these spaces; and 3) how their experiences of engaging in daily occupations differed in relation to the unique geographic and socio-historic context of the two cities being compared.\nMethods: A total of 56 immigrants and refugees (27 women and 29 men) from a range of countries participated in eight focus groups (4 in each city) that were conducted as part of a larger instrumental case study methodology. Questions addressed their use of Francophone community spaces, their experiences of inclusion and exclusion, and aspects that facilitated their participation and engagement within the local community. Whole text analysis of focus group interviews transcribed verbatim was followed by line-by-line coding to identify key categories and themes.\nResults: Participants identified diverse challenges to their social and cultural participation within the respective Francophone minority communities examined. These challenges, and associated strategies recommended to enhance their engagement in varied occupations, will be addressed in relation to two dominant themes. The first relates to enhancing the visibility of French-speaking communities themselves, and hence of their spaces and associated opportunities for occupational participation. The second attends to the tension between the expansion of local official language minority communities and their fragmentation as related to the arrival of diverse migrant populations. The implications of the different host communities’ reception of newcomers upon their occupational possibilities will be discussed.\nImplications: Existing research on immigration to Canadian Francophone minority communities has primarily attended to governmental policies and discourses. Much less is known about the daily lives of French-speaking migrants in these communities and the role of regional context in shaping their experiences of occupation. Adopting an occupational perspective to deepen understanding of how identities are negotiated in Francophone community spaces can inform the development of promising practices to support the social participation of official language minority immigrants and refugees.\nDiscussion questions:\nIn what ways do community spaces enable participation for additional minoritized immigrant populations (e.g. faith-based communities)?\nHow can host communities best provide spaces that enable the participation and active engagement of newcomers?\nWhat role do such ‘places of encounter’ play in building migrants’ local capital and networks with members of the host community?\nKey words: integration, international migration, participation

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
