VULTUR, Mircea. Logics of mobility, professional projects and intercultural experiences of international students in Quebec. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2018, vol.13, n.3, pp. 1-15. ISSN 1809-8908.

This article aims to analyze the logics of international student mobility in Quebec, as well as their professional projects after graduation and the cultural effects of this experience. This article demonstrates that strategic and "experiential" motives join those linked to an emigration project to Canada to support students' mobility logics. With regard to career projects after studies, it is observed that such projects are marked by uncertainty. If some students consider staying and working in Canada or returning to their home country, a large majority have difficulty in finding a satisfactory job and aiming for an international career. In terms of cultural effects of studies outside the country of origin, there is a more pronounced reflexivity, a highlight of individualization and acculturation as a personality dimension.
