This article describes the migration, resettlement and integration challenges and strengths of members of the African Diaspora in Canada who identify as survivors of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi of Rwanda. Data were generated from semi-structured interviews with 16 adult community members and a thematic analysis conducted inductively and collectively with the research team consisting of academics and representative community members. This article provides insights into the unique long-term impacts of genocide on migration, resettlement and community-level functioning for this group of African migrants living in a mid-Western city in Canada. Results highlight how Canadian immigration policies limit migration options and prevent family reunification for migrants with none or few remaining family members and the associated resettlement challenges experienced by this group. Results also show the vital role the Rwandan Diaspora community, and particularly other survivors, play in supporting resettlement, integration and overall well-being of genocide survivors.

1994 年卢旺达图西族种族灭绝幸存者在加拿大的迁移、重新安置和融合：一项基于社区的研究

本文描述了移民、重新安置和融合的挑战以及散居在加拿大的非洲人的优势，他们被认为是 1994 年针对卢旺达图西族的种族灭绝的幸存者。数据来自对 16 名成人社区成员的半结构化访谈，以及与由学者和代表社区成员组成的研究团队共同归纳进行的主题分析。本文深入探讨了种族灭绝对居住在加拿大中西部城市的这群非洲移民的移民、重新安置和社区层面运作的独特长期影响。结果突出了加拿大移民政策如何限制移民选择并阻止没有或很少有剩余家庭成员的移民家庭团聚，以及该群体经历的相关重新安置挑战。结果还显示了卢旺达侨民社区，尤其是其他幸存者在支持种族灭绝幸存者的重新安置、融合和整体福祉方面发挥的重要作用。
