The Alberta Association of Immigrant Serving Agencies (AAISA), is an umbrella organization that addresses the needs of newcomers to Alberta, the agencies that serve them, and the larger communities that welcome them. AAISA has been active since 1980 and was incorporated in 1987. AAISA recognizes the importance of newcomers to the province of Alberta and the communities which they live. Our member agencies play a vital role in assisting newcomers to reach their full potential and contribute to the overall success of Alberta's communities.
