Abstract	Existing studies have elaborated on personal and structural factors that shape the prevalent reality of occupational dislocation, underemployment, and unemployment among foreign-trained immigrant professionals. Complementing the current literature, this study explores how some immigrants manage to re-establish themselves as professionals in Canada. Drawing on in-depth interviews with six immigrant professionals from various immigrant cohorts, countries of origin, professions, and of both sexes, this study examines the professional re-entry process and describes how immigrant professionals address pre-migration preparation, postmigration individual challenges, and post-migration structural challenges. It further elaborates on factors that influence the efforts of immigrant professionals to reestablish themselves professionally in Canada. The theoretical and service and policy implications are also examined.Les études actuelles approfondissent des facteurs personnels et structuraux qui façonnent la réalité du déplacement professionnel, le sous-emploi et le chômage chez les immigrants professionnels formés à l’étranger. Venant compléter la documentation courante, cette étude examine la façon dont certains immigrants réussissent à se rétablir professionnellement au Canada. Puisant dans des entrevues approfondies auprès de six immigrant(e)s professionnel(le)s tiré(e)s de diverses cohortes d’immigrants, des professions variées et divers pays d’origine, cette étude se penche sur le processus de la réintégration professionnelle et décrit la façon dont les immigrants professionnels abordent la préparation à l’immigration, les défis individuels et les défis structuraux qui surviennent après l’immigration. De plus, elle expose en détail les facteurs qui influencent les efforts consacrés par les immigrants professionnels à leur rétablissement au Canada. Finalement, on évalue les incidences théoriques et les répercussions sur les politiques et les services.
