The neoliberalization of Canada’s immigration and immigrant integration policies has impacted how Francophone communities in English dominated provinces outside of Québec can develop and thrive. This article examines the challenges faced by Francophone community organizations in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in their efforts to successfully integrate Francophone immigrants. The GTA’s Francophone voluntary sector has been affected by a “community government” mindset, which limits its ability to support the integration of Francophone newcomers into the local French-speaking community. We use public documents and interviews with representatives of key Francophone community organizations to document these challenges. Résumé: Le néolibéralisme croissant des politiques canadiennes sur l’immigration et sur l’intégration des immigrants a eu un impact sur la manière dont les communautés francophones hors Québec dominées par l’anglais ont pu se développer et prospérer. Cet article examine les défis auxquels font face les organismes communautaires francophones de la Région du Grand Toronto (RGT) dans leurs efforts d’effectuer une intégration réussie des immigrants francophones. Le secteur bénévole francophone de la RGT a subi les effets d’une mentalité de « gouvernement communautaire » qui limite sa capacité à appuyer l’intégration de nouveaux venus francophones au sein de la communauté francophone locale. Afin de recenser ces défis, cet article utilise des documents publics et des entrevues avec les représentants d’organismes communautaires francophones clés.
