  • Migrant Workers and the Ambiguities of Digitally Mediated Work in Canada

    Open AccessMaría E Cervantes‐Macías, HuotARTICLEGlobal Networks2026

    Digitally mediated work is often framed as an opportunity for migrants to have greater flexibility, mobility and transnational connectivity. However, less attention has been paid to how digitally mediated work intersects with immigration systems that regulate settlement, labour market incorporation and belonging. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 50 migrant workers engaged in gig and remote work in Canada, this article examines how digitally…

  • Outpaced by platforms

    Atieh Razavi Yekta, Huot et al.ARTICLEPublic Management Review2026

    Immigrants are overrepresented in Canada’s platform economy, yet platform work is not characterized as legitimate and sustainable within employment services shaped by New Public Management (NPM) and austerity policies. This focused ethnography interrogates limitations of NPM and uses a sociotechnical approach to analyse key informant interviews. Three themes are addressed: (1) Out of scope: the limits of current policy, (2) Systemic lags and the …

  • Examining Highly Skilled Vietnamese Migrants’ Return Decision-Making through Their Aspirations for the “Good Life” in Vietnam

    Anne-Cécile Delaisse, Tamsin Barber et al.ARTICLETransfers2025

    Research indicates that an increasing number of Vietnamese international students return to Vietnam after graduation, yet migrants’ return decision-making remains understudied. This article draws on eighty-six ethnographic interviews with highly skilled migrants in Vancouver and Paris who have considered or decided against returning to Vietnam, as well as with those who have already returned. Centering on migrants’ aspirations for the “good life”…

  • Mapping (In)Formal Francophone Spaces

    Open AccessHuot, Anne-Cécile Delaisse et al.ARTICLESocieties2025Referências: 19

    Immigration is being used as a policy lever to sustain the demography of Canadian Francophone minority communities (FMCs). As FMCs become increasingly diverse, concerns have been raised regarding their capacity to develop and sustain a sense of community cohesion. This study draws on the mobilities paradigm to examine how community members within three different FMCs engaged within and beyond formal and informal Francophone spaces within the citi…

  • Working from (a New) Home

    Open AccessSamantha Jackson, HuotARTICLESocieties2025Referências: 8

    Remote work has become a prevalent work model in Canada but there is limited research on how immigrants experience this type of work. This paper shares thematic findings from an instrumental case study that explored such experiences in two of Canada’s largest immigrant-receiving provinces. We interviewed 21 highly educated remote workers from the Global South who had immigrated to Canada in the last 10 years. We generated three themes from a refl…

    Cette note de recherche présente les perspectives de membres d’une communauté francophone en situation minoritaire (CFSM) concernant les dynamiques coloniales, c’est-à-dire les dynamiques de pouvoir qui trouvent leurs origines dans le colonialisme européen. Nous examinons les perceptions de ces dynamiques qui opèrent au sein de la communauté, envers les peuples autochtones d’une part et les personnes immigrantes racisées d’autre part. Nous nous a…

  • Constructing categories of 'desirable migrants' through bureaucracy in French and Canadian mobility regimes

    Anne-Cécile Delaisse, Tamsin Barber et al.ARTICLENew Community2025Referências: 46

    This paper comparatively examines ‘highly skilled’ Vietnamese migrants’ encounters with the mobility regimes in France and Canada, through their experiences with immigration administrative procedures in these countries. We seek to highlight how categories of ‘desirable migrants’ are constructed through these bureaucratic encounters, by the policies and bureaucrats but also by migrants themselves. We draw from ethnographic interviews with 64 Vietn…

  • The Instrumentalization of French-Speaking Immigration in Canada Within a Colonial and Economistic Approach

    Anne-Cécile Delaisse, Huot et al.ARTICLECanadian ethnic studies2025Citada por: 3

    Since the early 2000s, immigration has been a key issue for Francophone minority communities. Several studies indicate that a gap exists between discourses open to immigration and practices leading to exclusion. However, this article questions the so-called 'openness' of discourses on Francophone immigration. As part of a larger ethnographic study using multiple methods, we analyzed 87 documents produced by selected governmental and non-governmen…

  • Special issue

    Huot, Susan ForwellARTICLEJournal of Occupational Science2024Referências: 4

    The conference theme, 'Occupation and society: Global to local perspectives for the future', recognized that all human engagement in daily occupations occurs within context.The papers in this special issue highlight the complex relations between human occupation and society, and address the varied ways that occupational engagement is shaped, in part, by the ways that occupations are 'situated' (e.g., historically, politically, geographically, etc…

  • The 'in-between' role of linguistic minority sites in immigrants' integration

    Anne-Cécile Delaisse, Luisa Veronis et al.ARTICLESocial & Cultural Geography2024Citada por: 3Referências: 31

    Learning the dominant language of the receiving society is arguably key to ensuring immigrant integration. While this is important for immigrants who are not fluent in the receiving countries' official language(s), in this article, we examine the significance of using an official, but minority language (French) in Canada's Anglophone provinces. We focus on the Francophone minority community (FMC) in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, as a 'third …

  • Cohésion communautaire et distanciations socio-raciales dans la communauté francophone du Grand Vancouver

    Anne-Cécile Delaisse, Huot et al.ARTICLECahiers franco-canadiens de l Ouest2023

    Les communautés francophones en situation minoritaire (CFSM) de Colombie-Britannique sont parmi les plus diverses du pays. Dans le Grand Vancouver, les immigrants semblent très présents dans les sites communautaires francophones. Cependant, nos recherches indiquent l’existence de distanciations socio-raciales qui fragilisent la cohésion communautaire. Cet article s’appuie sur les résultats de deux études : (1) une ethnographie critique sur la par…

  • Global perspectives on migration and forced displacement

    Concettina Trimboli, Sara Abdo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Occupational Science2023Citada por: 3Referências: 17

    This commentary reports on the international dialogic session delivered at the inaugural World Occupational Science Conference in Vancouver (2022) and a subsequent pre-congress workshop held at the World Federation of Occupational Therapists congress in Paris (2022). Global estimates of migration are at an all-time high, with forced migrants accounting for a staggering number, representing approximately 1% of the global population (Migration Poli…

  • L’immigration et les communautés francophones en situation minoritaire (CFSM)

    Open AccessLeyla Sall, Nathalie Piquemal et al.ARTICLEMinorités linguistiques et société2022

    L’immigration francophone est devenue une panacée pour les francophonies minoritaires canadiennes. Si la justification de l’accueil de nouveaux arrivants s’appuie sur des arguments démographiques et économiques, la question de la cohésion sociale émerge. Les francophonies minoritaires, qui ne peuvent pas transposer des modèles de cohésion sociale universalistes ou différentialistes élaborés par des États-nations souverains, sont obligées d’invent…

  • Examining Social Relationships among Older Muslim Immigrants Living in Canada

    Open AccessNada Nasir, China Hand et al.ARTICLESocieties2022Citada por: 1Referências: 20

    Social connectedness and engagement are particularly important among groups who are at risk of experiencing social isolation, such as immigrant older adults. The objective of our study was to understand the social relationships of aging Muslim Lebanese immigrants living in Canada by exploring their lives in their ethnic and wider communities. This study used a life course perspective and adopted a constructivist narrative inquiry to understand th…

  • La Théorie Critique De La Race, Un Outil De Lecture Des Relations Ambiguës Entre Les Communautés Francophones En Situation Minoritaire Et Leurs Immigrants Noirs Francophones

    Open AccessLeyla Sall, Faïçal Zellama et al.ARTICLECanadian Review of Sociology/Revue…2022Referências: 6

    In becoming host communities for Francophone immigrants in the early 2000s, Canada's Francophone minority communities (FMCs) are facing the test of moving away from a predominant ethnic nationalism to an inclusive civic nationalism. The reception and integration of Black and Francophone immigrants is therefore a relevant indicator of the success of this test. Drawing on critical race theory and bricolage methodology, we reconstruct the ambiguous …

  • Learning about occupation together

    Huot, Laura Yvonne Bulk et al.ARTICLEJournal of Occupational Science2022Referências: 21

    This paper outlines the approach to learning and knowing occupation adopted in a graduate level seminar focussed on the relationship between human occupation and society. Drawing on elements of transformational learning theory and critical pedagogy for the course design, instructors and students in the seminar engaged in a collective process of learning about occupation. Rather than focusing on the topical content of the course, this article outl…

  • Catalyzing service providers’ potential to enhance immigrants’ social occupational possibilities

    Simarbir Singh Khangura, Matthew So et al.ARTICLEJournal of Occupational Science2022Citada por: 2Referências: 11

    With the ongoing arrival of immigrants and refugees to Canada, service providers play a pivotal role in offering occupational opportunities as a means of supporting integration within the host communities. However, few studies have adopted an occupational lens to explore service providers’ perspectives on their roles. In this study, we explored service provider perspectives on their role in providing social occupational opportunities for immigran…

  • Embracing transnational approaches for a more thorough and critical understanding of occupation in research on migration

    Anne-Cécile Delaisse, HuotARTICLEJournal of Occupational Science2021Citada por: 1Referências: 46

    In occupational science, migration has mainly been considered as an ‘uprooting’ experience and occupational scientists have examined the centrality of occupation in migrants’ integration in their receiving countries. Concerned about occupational injustices, occupational scientists have aimed at uncovering barriers that migrants face in their occupations and how these barriers can be overcome in their receiving countries. Migrants’ connections to …

  • Immigration et francophonies minoritaires canadiennes

    Open AccessLeyla Sall, Luisa Veronis et al.ARTICLEFrancophonies d Amérique2021Citada por: 2Referências: 29

    Les communautés francophones en situation minoritaire (CFSM) du Canada ont opéré une transformation sociétale remarquable au début des années 2000 : elles sont devenues des communautés d’accueil d’immigrants d’expression française et francophiles. Mais qu’en est-il de leur cohésion sociale dans le contexte de la diversité ethnoraciale ? Cet article explore les apories de la cohésion sociale dans quatre CFSM à travers le pays (Colombie-Britannique…
