This article draws on the analysis of semi-structured interviews to compare the immigration experiences of queer individuals from the Global North with those of their counterparts from the Global South. It examines the process of racialization experienced by some of these individuals upon arrival in Quebec/Canada, the transformation of this process when it had already been experienced in the country of origin, and the continued social recognition as white people for others. The article then examines the impacts of these processes on the construction of these immigrants' life stories in the host society, particularly in relation to their social class. It also demonstrates that the privilege enjoyed by individuals socially recognized as white manifests itself in the absence of challenges related to racialization in their life trajectories.
