متن يادداشت

Iranians were the third-largest group of admitted immigrants to Canada between 2011 and 2016 (Statistics Canada, 2016). The current literature on Iranian immigrants in North America explores Iranians' integration into the host society and Iranian communities (Kafili, 2013; Mostofi, 2003). Studies that document a lack of cohesion within Iranian communities have mostly focused on the role of religious or political affiliations at the community level (Malek, 2015b). However, an in-depth account of interpersonal interactions and a sense of belonging to the community is missing in this literature. Moreover, research on Iranians living in North America has focused on single identities and has not considered immigrants' intersections of identities. Therefore, this qualitative study explored how Iranian immigrants in Québec, experienced their intersections of identities during interactions with other Iranians and the meanings immigrants made while living in or belonging to the Iranian community. Hermeneutic phenomenology was used as a research methodology and intersectionality as the epistemological framework. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 first-generation Iranians between the ages of 32 and 44 who had permanent residency status and who lived in Québec for at least three years. An interpretive phenomenological analysis of the results yielded several major themes: transitioning to Québec, challenges of bilingualism, career transitioning, experiences unique to women, community engagement, and interpersonal interactions. An analysis of intersectionality highlighted the intersections of classism, sexism, ageism, racism and political affiliation in shaping interpersonal interactions and a sense of belonging to the community. The implications for practice, policymaking, and future research are discussed.
