This paper looks at the relationship between social representations and political
representation of immigrants, in organizations that purport to speak in the name of
minority francophone communities in Canada. On the one hand, I examine
organizations’ discourse about immigrants and immigration, and on the other, I
study the descriptive political representation of immigrants within the organizations.
Discourse analysis reveals an evolution from a standpoint that presents immigrants
as permanently different to a more inclusive description of immigrants’ place within
the francophone communities or a form of integrated pluralism. In terms of political
representation, although there is great variety between provincial organizations, one
can conclude that immigrants are overrepresented among the organizations’
employees, but slightly underrepresented in most organizations’ administrative
offices.
