In this article, we report an exploratory investigation carried amongst new Canadian citizens originating from non-democratic countries. Our study is based on the analysis of 30 interviews with Montrealers from Haiti, Lebanon and Peru. The variables presented here are most likely to explain their per- ceptions with regard to the Canadian and Québécois political systems and their political behaviors. We are particularly interested in the interrelation- ships between three groups of variables: political, psychological and socio- demographic.
