Services to help you settle

Immigrant-serving agencies provide information and guidance for newcomers after they arrive in Alberta. These organizations help immigrants find the services they need (for example, health care, language training, education, employment, family services or interpreter services).

Counsellors at immigrant-serving agencies often speak several languages and many are immigrants or refugees themselves. They understand the challenges involved in settling in a new country and can make the process much easier for you.

For a list of immigrant-serving agencies operating in the province, visit Alberta Employment and Immigration's Immigration website. Most of the agencies listed are jointly funded by the federal and Alberta governments through the Integrated Services Program (ISP).

You can also find the agencies closest to you by calling the Alberta Career Information Hotline toll-free at 1-800-661-3753 or in Edmonton at (780) 422-4266.
