For the newcomer, the social dynamic of a Francophone minority host community demonstrates a conjunction of identities that are linked to her or his daily life. This conjunction provides a glimpse of the newcomer’s relatively strong cultural attachment that is tested by the migratory environment’s adaptive requirements. Intracultural and intercultural social interactions tend to open up to processes of detribalization in general and, more specifically, to a reversal of roles between husband and wife. Consequently, the potential intervention of a social worker within the family setting of the newcomer is required, but not without difficulty. Using the data from our study entitled “Inclusion de nouveaux arrivants en milieu scolaire franco-manitobain”, this analysis attempts to highlight new family challenges in Canada’s Francophone minority communities. Primarily through semi-directed interviews, we noted a change in roles between husband and wife requiring new practices in family-oriented social intervention in an immigrant context.
