How do residents of distinct regions of Quebec express their opinions on immigration? And what are the sources of such perceptions in each of these territorial contexts? This article explores these questions through an analysis of eight focus groups held in Montreal, on the North Shore of Montreal, and in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region in December 2017. We present two main conclusions. First, the discourse on immigration is much more negative in the suburbs of Montreal than in the Bas-Saint-Laurent or even in Montreal. Second, we interpret regional differences as the result of the relatively unique interaction between ethnocentrism and contact experiences in each of the territorial contexts.
