Floating population plays an important role in the development of cities, regions, and countries. The economic growth path with Guangdong characteristics is inseparable from the support of highly educated groups. Studying the long-term residence intention of the highly educated floating population is helpful for the city to attract and retain talents. From the perspective of social integration, using CMDS 2017 data and taking Guangdong Province for example, this paper studies the influencing factors of long-term residence intention through SPSS logistic regression, taking intra-provincial and inter-provincial floating population with a bachelor’s degree or above as sample. The main conclusions are: (1) Marital and childbearing status is the primitive influencing factor of long-term residence intention among intra-provincial and inter-provincial floating population. Samples with high income, under social insurance system, being female and having non-agricultural hukou, are tend to prefer long-term residence. Samples who connect with the locals and participate in social public welfare are more likely to stay. (2) Personal age and city livability have a significant positive impact on the long-term residence intention of the inter-provincial highly educated floating population, but agricultural hukou and self-employed laborer status will weaken the long-term residence intention of this group. (3) Participation in townsmen/alumni association has a positive effect on the long-term residence intention of the intra-provincial highly educated floating population, and connection with outlanders also promotes the long-term residence intention of this group. (4) The long-term residence intention of inter-provincial highly educated floating population is usually based on reality, therefore they pay more attention to the development, changes, and livability of the destination city. However, the long-term residence intention of intra-provincial highly educated floating population is usually based on perception, so they pay more attention to whether they like the city. Compared with intra-provincial flows, inter-provincial flows have higher economic and emotional migration costs, more institutional barriers, and more life adaptation problems. Therefore, the government should introduce targeted measures to promote social integration and improve long-term residence intention.
