Transnational Family Practices : Colombians Refugees in Quebec The transnational practices of Colombian refugees established in Quebec, Canada, were studied as a part of a doctoral research. Refugees were interviewed in Montreal, Quebec-city, Trois-Rivieres and Sherbrooke as well as family members in Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena, Colombia. The analysis shows that, once settled in Quebec, family becomes the strongest motivational element and the most frequently mentioned one for the preservation of links with Colombia. Communication with family members in Colombia seemed very important for the majority of the interlocutors. This analysis allows us to assert that, for an important proportion of refugees, the attachment towards Colombia is definitely turned to the family and not to Colombia itself as a country with its way of life, culture, history, territory and other characteristics.
