Abstract: Abstract In the area of immigration, much attention has been paid to the increased participation of civil society organizations in the delivery of public policy. In Canada, since the mid-1990s, numerous studies have researched the impacts of the federal devolution, either to the provinces or to the third sector organizations. However, the effects of the 2012 federal repatriation regarding the management of settlement services have yet to be studied. This article provides such an analysis. It compares the cases of British Columbia and Manitoba and focuses on Francophone minority communities. The results indicate that the scale of funding matters. My conclusion calls for more attention to be paid to the specificities of Francophone service providers when it comes to research, as well as policy-making processes, notably at the evaluation stages.
