Coeurs migratoires

Five bi-national couples talk about the circumstances of their meeting and the pitfalls of immigration to Canada.

Pour devenir la femme d’Ousséni, qui se considère comme un musulman moderne, Marlène doit se convertir à l’Islam. Marc sort de sa zone de confort en apprenant la salsa pour faire plaisir à Melissa qui s’ennuie de sa culture. Isabelle tente d’obtenir des réponses et sortir saine d’esprit des nombreuses étapes d’immigration de son mari Ivan.

The pandemic has had a devastating effect on Canadian visa applicants. Our couples were not spared.

Ups and downs: this is the daily life of couples who choose long-distance love. Despite strong roots, their happiness is fragile.

Hoping. Imagining the worst. Bi-national love affairs often rhyme with the anguish of a disappointment or the exaltation of good news.

Even if everything seems to be getting in the way of their happiness, our couples continue to move forward in the fog.
