This dissertation aims to examine the constitution of identity and the life plan of three South American immigrants (Peru, Colombia and Ecuador) who live in the city of São Paulo. In addition, it was possible to demonstrate the main dilemmas faced by them in the immigration process, as well as to deepen the understanding of Social Psychology in the context of immigration.
