In sociology of migration, assimilation theory anticipates second-generations' socio-economic mobility into the mainstream. In contrast, the concept of transnationalism predicts second-generations' simultaneous belonging to the origin and destination countries. We draw on 118 qualitative interviews with second-generation Somali-Canadians whose parents were refugees to assess which of these perspectives best explains our participants' experiences. We explore educational and occupational attainments and transnational practices. Our data show upward mobility and an absence of contemporary transnational practices. Yet, we find that our participants' refugee background impacts their transnationalism; their parents' forced departures as refugees and the ongoing violence in their origin-country lead to second-generation Somali-Canadians' lack of transnationalism. Many, however, emphasize their desire to discover their origin-country at some point in the future. As such, to contribute to the emerging literature on second-generations with refugee parents, we argue that refugee background seems to push transnationalism into the future for our study participants.
