The world is witnessing the highest levels of displacement on record. The United Nations estimates that every minute, 24 people around the world are forced to flee their homes. Ongoing wars and conflicts in many parts of the world have forced millions of individuals to leave their countries and seek safety and protection through different resettlement programs around the world. In response to the current Syrian crisis, the Government of Canada has accepted more than 40,000 Syrian refugees since November 2015. Still, because of their limited language abilities, most of these individuals have been forced to “start over”. This includes defining their social identity, their new world positions, and their ability to become an active part of their society that can access available cultural, emotional and social resources. Framed by Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice, this narrative study focuses on the intersections between language learning experiences, capital, and identities of Syrian refugees now living in Regina, Saskatchewan. In this qualitative study, data were collected during a series of interviews with five Syrian men. Based on the study findings, it was concluded that the participants’ multiple identities as hardworking, employed, independent, Muslim fathers and husbands developed in Syria were gradually eroded or altered by the realities they experienced in Canada, yet they had a strong desire to re-establish their identity constructions from back home in the new context. It is asserted that the loss of their linguistic capital from back home limited their employment prospects, impacted their abilities to form social relationships with native English speakers, and led to a shift in traditional gender roles. Findings from this study concluded that it is imperative to adopt additional social support and language training programs that can further support refugees in re-establishing themselves in their professional fields and daily living activities.
