Resumo: Objective: The study aims at analyzing the socio-demographic profile of Brazilian immigrant entrepreneurship in Toronto, its entrepreneurial behavioral traits, in addition to their business profiles. Methodology/approach: The research is multi-method, with qualitative predominance, being exploratory-descriptive. For data-collection, it was conducted a survey and further deepening with face-to-face interviews and field observations. Main results: The majority declared themselves to be from the Brazilian Southeast, white, 35 to 49 years old, married, with children, high academic and professional background. The influence of the state of social malaise in Brazil and the official Canadian discourse, seem to act as factors of ‘expulsion-attraction’ to migration. The job condition of unemployment upon immigrants' arrival can ‘push’ them into necessity-driven entrepreneurship, although there are also ventures that have identified opportunities. Most of the businesses are small and operate in the service sector, concentrated on the West End of Toronto. In many businesses, there was a strong search for identification with the ethnic community itself, which suggests the formation of an 'enclave economy', but in some cases, the main market for local consumers was targeted. Theoretical/methodological contributions: The article highlights the importance of conducting multi-method research to understand possible entrepreneurial configurations by Brazilian immigrants. Relevance/originality: The article has academic relevance given the scarce work on the theme of Brazilian immigrant entrepreneurship overseas. Very little is known about this phenomenon in Canada. Social and management contributions: The entrepreneurial trajectories described minimize risks for future immigrants; also, the discussion about the social capital of the ethnic community allows comparisons with the business of Brazilians in other countries.

JEL CODE: L26, J15, M16 e J61 Objetivo: El estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el perfil sociodemográfico del emprendimiento inmigrante brasileño en Toronto, sus rasgos de comportamiento emprendedor, además de sus perfiles comerciales. Metodología / enfoque: La investigación es multimétodo, con predominio cualitativo, siendo exploratorio-descriptivo. Para la recolección de datos, se realizó una encuesta y se profundizó aún más con entrevistas presenciales y observaciones de campo. Principales resultados: La mayoría se declaró del sureste brasileño, blanca, de 35 a 49 años, casada, con hijos, de alto nivel académico y profesional. La influencia del estado de malestar social en Brasil y el discurso oficial canadiense, parecen actuar como factores de "expulsión-atracción" hacia la migración. La condición laboral del desempleo a la llegada de los inmigrantes puede "empujarlos" a emprendedores impulsados por la necesidad, aunque también hay empresas que han identificado oportunidades. La mayoría de las empresas son pequeñas y operan en el sector de servicios, concentradas en el West End de Toronto. En muchas empresas, hubo una fuerte búsqueda de identificación con la propia comunidad étnica, lo que sugiere la formación de una 'economía de enclave', pero en algunos casos, se apuntó al principal mercado de consumidores locales. Contribuciones teóricas / metodológicas: El artículo destaca la importancia de realizar una investigación multimétodo para comprender las posibles configuraciones empresariales de los inmigrantes brasileños. Relevancia / originalidad: El artículo tiene relevancia académica dado el escaso trabajo sobre el tema del emprendimiento inmigrante brasileño en el exterior. Se sabe muy poco sobre este fenómeno en Canadá. Contribuciones sociales y de gestión: Las trayectorias empresariales descritas minimizan los riesgos para los futuros inmigrantes; Asimismo, la discusión sobre el capital social de la comunidad étnica permite realizar comparaciones con el negocio de los brasileños en otros países.JEL CODE: L26, J15, M16 e J61 Objetivo do estudo: Analisar o perfil sociodemográfico do empreendedorismo imigrante brasileiro em Toronto, seus traços comportamentais empreendedores e o negócio propriamente dito. Metodologia/abordagem: Trata-se de uma pesquisa multimétodos, exploratória-descritiva, com predominância qualitativa. Para a coleta de dados, foram realizadas surveys, aprofundadas com entrevistas presenciais e observações de campo. Principais resultados: A maioria se declarou proveniente do sudeste brasileiro, branca, de 35 a 49 anos, casada, com filhos, background acadêmico e profissional elevados. A influência do estado de mal-estar social no Brasil e do discurso oficial canadense parece atuar como fator de expulsão-atração à migração. A condição laboral de desempregados, na chegada dos imigrantes, pode “empurrá-los” a um empreendedorismo por necessidade, embora também sejam verificados negócios criados por oportunidade. Majoritariamente, os empreendimentos são de pequeno porte, do setor de prestação de serviços, com destaque aos que se concentram em West End, na cidade de Toronto. Nesse contexto, percebeu-se uma forte busca de identificação com a comunidade étnica ao qual os indivíduos pertencem, o que sugere a formação de economia de enclave. Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: O artigo evidencia a importância de se realizar uma pesquisa multimétodos, com fins de entender as possíveis configurações empreendedoras dos imigrantes brasileiros. Relevância/originalidade: Há relevância acadêmica devido aos escassos trabalhos na temática do empreendedorismo de imigrantes brasileiros no exterior, sendo que pouco se sabe sobre esse fenômeno no Canadá. Contribuições sociais e para a gestão: As trajetórias empreendedoras descritas minimizam riscos para futuros imigrantes; além disso, a discussão sobre o capital social da comunidade étnica permite comparações com os negócios de brasileiros em outros países.
