  abstract = {»{V}on der {S}tudentenmobilität zur {A}rbeitsmigration: {B}erufslaufbahnen und ,{P}apierkarrieren' marokkanischer {H}ochschulabsolventen in {F}rankreich« {F}rom the application for a long-stay student visa to the submission of a legal status change request at the prefecture, this article traces the "paper careers" of {M}oroccan engineers and managers who graduated in {F}rance and chose to stay and work there. {D}espite holding advanced degrees and fitting the profiles sought after for so-called "shortage occupations" characterized by a lack of qualified labor, the professional integration of these highly skilled migrants into the {F}rench job market remains uncertain and far from guaranteed. {D}elays in obtaining residence permits or work authorizations often deprive them of opportunities matching their qualifications, keeping them in precarious employment situations. {T}hese administrative obstacles hinder their labor market integration, limit their mobility, and restrict their ability to advance into skilled jobs.},
