Knowledge Hub

AAISA’s Knowledge Hub is a three year, province wide digital platform initiative running from 2025 through March 2028, funded by the Government of Alberta and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. It launched publicly on January 16, 2026 and is built around three core components, a Service Map, a Resource Library and this Data Hub.

The Data Hub is the platform’s visual dashboard layer, presenting settlement trends and service usage data across Alberta. It supports service providers, researchers and community partners with insights into how newcomer needs are shifting across the province, drawing on sources such as AAISA’s annual Sector Surveys and IRCC’s iCARE reporting environment.

Behind these dashboards sits a deliberate approach to how AAISA wants data to function across the sector. Rather than data staying isolated inside individual agency records, the Data Hub was built to bridge front line service delivery and academic research capacity, anonymizing and aggregating information into shared dashboards, reports and published findings. The goal is a working feedback loop, where evidence collected across Alberta’s settlement agencies feeds directly back into the policy, funding and program decisions that shape the sector, replacing anecdote with a shared and verifiable evidence base.

The dashboards below are hosted directly on that platform and reflect the most current published data.

AAISA welcomes collaboration on future data and research initiatives.
