Our Services
At the National Iranian Canadian Assembly (NICA), we are dedicated to providing a wide range of services designed to support, empower, and enrich not only the Iranian-Canadian community but also Aboriginal Peoples, minority communities, newcomers, refugees, and 2SLGBTQ+ individuals. Our programs address the diverse needs of our members, promoting cultural integration, professional development, and overall well-being.
Empowering Solutions for your success
