Abstract: The immigrants follow different ways to become integrated into French society. The study takes their professional career into account, as well as other major characteristics, such as their gender, their knowledge of the French language, their willingness to settle in France on a long term basis, their citizenship or desire to become a French citizen, their marriage to a French national and discrimination that they attribute to their foreign origin. We distinguish five groups, mostly on the basis of gender and differences in career paths. Our typology shows that, for male immigrants, integration into the labour market is the key determinant of integration into French society as a whole. The situation of female immigrants is more complex. The age at which they arrived in France and their original motivation for settling in France are important factors. Those who were young when they arrived generally achieve integration thanks to employment; those who arrived as adults in order to join their husband, tend to remain cut off from the rest of French society.
