This article considers the contemporary configurations of international migratory flows in the Brazilian situation, with an emphasis on the state of Paraná and its refractions in social policies. The objective is to problematize professional interventions with immigrants in relation to social security policies. The study is based on partial data from a research project underway, and includes an analysis of sixty questionnaires issued to immigrants and nine interviews with social workers. The data originated in five municipalities with the highest incidence of immigrants in a metropolitan region in Paraná state, Brazil. The analysis demonstrates a lack of understanding among social workers about the principles of universality and equity in conducting interventions. It also found an absence of in depth knowledge about the territorial configurations in which the services to and particularities of immigrants develop. This indicates that access to social services among migrants is still under construction and requires not only investments by the state, but also a professional commitment that understands them as unique subjects.
