This article pertains to the positive factors ensuring successful professional integration of immigrant women, a subject poorly documented in the literature. The study describes the factors and processes favorable to the successful professional integration of French-speaking African immigrant women in Winnipeg. Using a qualitative approach and guided by social capital and acculturation theories, findings suggest that these women’s success depended on personal skills and social capital, their participation in networks and their ability to seek advantageous opportunities. Faced with difficulties in their professional ascent, they have developed strategies and accommodations to achieve success.
