Andréia Seganfredo is a master’s student in organizational communication. Her research interests focus on cross-cultural adaptation and the integration of immigrants into the workplace and the host society. Her research aims to better understand how immigrants who leave Montreal to settle in rural areas adapt to their first and second destination and the relationship between these two processes. This phenomenon, known in the literature as secondary migration, is widely studied among refugee groups and, in most cases, from a quantitative approach. To bring a new understanding to this subject, Andreia includes other groups of immigrants in her studies and uses a communication model to explore this type of movement in Québec.
