Abstract

This article analyses the ties Mexican immigrants in Montreal develop with the host society and those they keep with their communities of origin. From the transnational perspective, the analysis is based on data obtained from documents and interviews with Mexican entrepreneurs, professionals and refugees living in Montreal. The analysis concludes that Mexican immigrants in Montreal live their territorial identity in a situation of social and economic stress characterized by a hybrid sense of belonging. "We do not feel neither from here nor from there", say the majority of interviewees; which appears to the authors as a sign of a transnational community in construction.
