It sets out the context for settlement scheme applications, linking it to broader hostile environment policies in the UK. It explores the dynamic nature of people&rsquo;s migration projects and how these have been challenged in the context of Brexit and the EU Settlement Scheme. The paper discusses the ruptures in migrants&rsquo; narratives in relation to how they envision their future in Northern Ireland and their countries of origin, with some moving towards indeterminacy and some searching for fixity/stability in their migration projects. It examines how the Northern Irish context &ndash; and the question of the Irish border specifically &ndash; adds an additional layer of complexity to the migrants&rsquo; shifting future imaginaries. The paper draws on my covert research and in-depth interviews with CEE migrants, where consent was given retrospectively. It discusses the role of the researcher in cutting the covert/overt continuum and ethical dilemmas in the field.&nbsp;</p>10aBrexit10ahostile environment10amigration strategies10aNorthern Ireland1 aKempny, Marta  uhttps://www.ceemr.uw.edu.pl/content/brexit-hostile-environment-eu-settlement-scheme-and-rupture-migration-projects-central-and
