This article examines the bicultural identity formation and cultural experiences internalized by second-generation Indo-Canadians in their efforts to accommodate the "best of both worlds" into their lifestyle. The objectives of this article are to educate the reader to become cognizant of the bicultural issues encountered by second-generation Indo-Canadians; to demonstrate interventions suitable for the second-generation Indo-Canadian populations; and to increase the readers' understanding of bicultural identity formation. What becomes evident is that intergenerational dialogue has a profound impact on the bicultural identity formation of this population. It will serve to guide these individuals to find a third space (Bhabha 2004) or zone of proximal development (ZPD) to encourage evolvement of their bicultural identity (Cummins 1996; Gutiérrez et al. 1999). Cet article porte sur la formation d'une identité biculturelle et l'expérience culturelle telle qu'elle est internalisée par des Indo-Canadiens de la deuxième génération dans leurs efforts de faire place dans leur mode de vie au «meilleur de deux mondes». Il vise à éduquer le lecteur en lui faisant connaître les problèmes biculturels auxquels les Indo-Canadiens de deuxième génération doivent faire face, à présenter des solutions qui pourraient s'adapter à ces derniers, et à faire mieux comprendre au dit lecteur en quoi consiste la formation d'une identité biculturelle. Ce qui devient évident, c'est que le dialogue intergénérationnel qui a lieu dans cette population a un impact profond sur sa formation identitaire. Ce dialogue servira de fil conducteur à cette deuxième génération pour trouver une troisième voie (Bhabba 2004), ou zone de développement « de proximité » ( zone of proximal development ZPD), afin d'encourager l'élaboration de leur identité biculturelle (Cummings 1996; Gutiérrez et al. 1999
