Quebec receives more and more immigrants and the Mauricie region is no exception to this trend. Studies have shown deterioration in the lifestyle of newcomers. Others have focused on identifying the life competencies that may promote the adjustment of immigrants into their host society. The objective of the exploratory and qualitative study is to examine in depth the process of adaptation of new immigrants settled in the Mauricie region in terms of lifestyle habits (eating habits and physical activity) and life skills. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight immigrant parents. The results indicate the importance of diversifying assistance to facilitate food and sports choices associated with healthy lifestyle. Existing welcome centers that aim at promoting French learning and to offer assistance in job searching in order to foster the development of a social network among adults must be maintained.
