Abstract. Through a transnational lens, I draw attention to the spatialization of Guatemalan refugee and immigrant settlement in Canada and highlight the relatively local and immobile lives, yet highly transnational social relations, that characterize their experience. Part of the challenge of understanding Guatemalan refugee transnationalism of the 1970s through the 1990s is the necessity to understand the political and policy context that refugees and immigrants fled from and entered into when they arrived in Canada. Of central concern are issues of Guatemalan political violence, Canadian foreign and immigration policies, socio-economic circumstances, and spatial concentration or dispersal of settlement--all of which factor into the vastly different experience and form of transnationalism than the more thoroughly documented American- and Mexican-destination scenarios. Resume. Par le biais d'une vision transnationale, j'attire l'attention sur la spatialisation de l'etablissement des refugies et des immigrants guatemalteques au Canada et je souligne le caractere relativement local et immobile de leur vie, meme si leur experience est marquee par un niveau eleve de transnationalisme dans les relations sociales. Le defi de comprendre le transnationalisme des refugies guatemalteques entre les annees 1970 et 1990 reside en partie dans le besoin de saisir le contexte politique et social qu'ils ont quitte pour venir s'etablir au Canada. Les aspects dont il faut particulierement tenir compte sont : la violence politique au Guatemala, les politiques exterieures et d'immigration canadiennes, les circonstances socio-economiques et la concentration ou dispersion spatiale des nouveaux arrivants. Tous ces elements font que leur experience transnationale soit extremement differente de celle des Guatemalteques qui s'etablissent aux Etats-Unis et au Mexique.
