Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia (ISANS) is an organization that welcomes immigrants and delivers settlement and integration programs and services. We can provide most services for free because we receive funding from the Canadian and Nova Scotian governments (we are a registered charity and a non-profit society).

In Canada, organizations are required to obtain consent from individuals to collect, use or share personal information (under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) (www.priv.gc.ca/leg_c/leg_c_p_e.asp). This means that organizations need to provide clear information to individuals explaining what they are doing with their personal information. When you consent to something, it means that: 1) you permit or give your permission, and 2) you voluntarily agree.
