RESOURCES
By sharing relevant resources, we want to help all settlement and integration service providers in Atlantic Canada be at the top of their game when serving immigrants and refugees.
If you are looking for something specific and can’t find it on our website, check out SettleNet.org, a bilingual National Settlement Sector Community of Practice (CoP) where staff, leaders and those in related fields can learn, share, connect and collaborate. A real treasure trove!
Professional Development
Through our Professional Development (PD) events, we provide front-line settlement workers, managers and team leads with the latest knowledge, skills and expertise regarding the settlement and integration sector.
Here is what ARAISA PD sessions bring to the sector:
- Organizations are better equipped to serve immigrants and refugees
- Newcomers’ settlement needs are better known and responded to
- Staff are better supported and guided
- Responsive and professional programs are created
- Good practices and knowledge are shared
- Capacity is strengthened across the region

Reports
Each event and research initiative that we conduct, or are a partner of, leads to a report. And because we know you don’t always have the time to read a 40-page document, we try to keep it short. To make it even easier for you, we’ve summarized some reports as infographics!
