Francophone immigration has become a panacea for maintaining vitality in Francophone minority communities. If the rationale behind welcoming newcomers is one of demographics and economics, the issue of social cohesion then emerges. Francophone minority communities unable to transpose universalist or differentialist models of social cohesion developed by sovereign nation-states must create a model of cohesion that includes the ideas of immigrants and their host community. We asked them to voice their concerns in focus groups, where they identified obstacles to social cohesion, as well as factors facilitating the de-ethnicization of Francophone minority communities. Our findings seem to support the following: creating an inclusive society is possible under certain conditions.
