The aim of this study is to describe the identity and resilience strategies adopted by immigrant women faced with deskilling, in their attempt at social and professional integration in Quebec. Based on a review of relevant literature and research, the study examines how female migrant workers strategize their responses to the obstacles encountered when faced with deskilling, as well as the psychosocial elements that serve as the basis of these coping and reactive strategies. In particular, the paper outlines the methods and results of a research conducted in 2002 that analysed how deskilling is experienced from a psychosocial perspective, and described differences in individual experiences of deskilling related to particular cultural prisms.
