Résumé
Cet article mobilise une approche bourdieusienne afin d’interroger l’influence de la classe sociale sur les parcours d’exil de 20 familles réfugiées syriennes prises en charge par le gouvernement canadien (RPG) et arrivées au Canada entre 2015 et 2016. Nos résultats démontrent l’existence d’une hétérogénéité quant au positionnement de classe prémigratoire au sein de la catégorie des RPG syrien.nes, plus particulièrement en ce qui a trait à la possibilité de mobiliser et de convertir divers types de capitaux (économique, social et culturel) pour accéder à la migration hors Syrie et lors du séjour dans les différents contextes d’asile turc, libanais et jordanien.

Abstract
This article mobilizes a approach for analyzing the influence of social class on the exile pathways of 20 Syrian government assisted refugee (GARS) families who arrived in Canada between 2015 and 2016. Our results demonstrate the existence of heterogeneity in class positioning within the Syrian GARS category, specifically with respect to the ability to mobilize and convert various types of capital (economic, social and cultural) to access migration out of Syria while staying in the different asylum contexts of Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.
