Résumé
Cet article explore des pratiques transnationales d’immigrants africains francophones installés en Alberta et l’impact de ces pratiques sur leur intégration dans la société canadienne. En nous basant sur des analyses d’entrevues semi-dirigées et des théories qui portent sur l’intégration et de l’immigration transnationale, nous démontrons que l’immigration transnationale favorise l’intégration. L’on peut s’appuyer sur cette immigration pour contrer les inégalités, soutenir le développement et optimiser les relations entre le Canada et les pays d’origine. La conceptualisation de l’immigration transnationale devrait miser davantage sur son impact positif et il serait bénéfique de prévoir des moyens susceptibles de favoriser cet impact.
Abstract
This article examines transnational practices among Francophone African immigrants living in Alberta, and how these practices impact their integration into Canadian society. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and theories of integration and transnational immigration, we posit that transnational immigration facilitates integration. It would be beneficial to foster this immigration to help counter inequalities, support development, and promote relations between Canada and the countries of origin. The conceptualization of transnational immigration should focus more on its positive impacts, and it would be useful to identify ways to extend these outcomes.
