Here is a Concrete example of @pennersr solution :

Assumming your profile model has these 3 fields: first_name, email, picture_url

views.py:

@receiver(user_signed_up)
def populate_profile(sociallogin, user, **kwargs):    

    if sociallogin.account.provider == 'facebook':
        user_data = user.socialaccount_set.filter(provider='facebook')[0].extra_data
        picture_url = "http://graph.facebook.com/" + sociallogin.account.uid + "/picture?type=large"            
        email = user_data['email']
        first_name = user_data['first_name']

    if sociallogin.account.provider == 'linkedin':
        user_data = user.socialaccount_set.filter(provider='linkedin')[0].extra_data        
        picture_url = user_data['picture-urls']['picture-url']
        email = user_data['email-address']
        first_name = user_data['first-name']

    if sociallogin.account.provider == 'twitter':
        user_data = user.socialaccount_set.filter(provider='twitter')[0].extra_data
        picture_url = user_data['profile_image_url']
        picture_url = picture_url.rsplit("_", 1)[0] + "." + picture_url.rsplit(".", 1)[1]
        email = user_data['email']
        first_name = user_data['name'].split()[0]

    user.profile.avatar_url = picture_url
    user.profile.email_address = email
    user.profile.first_name = first_name
    user.profile.save()         

If you are confused about those picture_url variable in each provider. Then take a look at the docs:

facebook:

picture_url = "http://graph.facebook.com/" + sociallogin.account.uid + "/picture?type=large" Docs

linkedin:

picture_url = user_data['picture-urls']['picture-url'] Docs

twitter:

picture_url = picture_url.rsplit("_", 1)[0] + "." + picture_url.rsplit(".", 1)[1] Docs And for the rsplit() take a look here

Hope that helps. :)
