What Our Clients Say About Us!
Calgary: A New Chapter program is the right place and the right source to get information and advice as a newcomer to Canada. I relocated to Calgary six weeks ago. At the beginning, I tried to get information about life in Calgary from friends, and acquaintances but I received partial or innacurate information. Now, after I attended the Calgary: A New Chapter program, all the information is clear. Calgary: A New Chapter program is the best place for everybody, but especially for newcomers.
Thank you very much CCIS, for giving me the opportunity to join this special program, Calgary: A New Chapter!

With this workshop, I received guidance and invaluable support for newcomers like me. The workshop covered essential topics such as healthcare, education, employment, networking, and banking. The program empowered me with the knowledge and resources needed to navigate my new life in Calgary successfully.
The networking section of this program allowed me to connect with fellow newcomers, local professionals, and community leaders, fostering a sense of belonging and opening doors to exciting opportunities.
Moreover, the program's insights into banking in Canada was the most beneficial for me to make sound financial decisions and manage my resources effectively.
I highly recommend this comprehensive program to any newcomer seeking a smooth transition and a brighter future. Thank you, Calgary: A New Chapter program, for making a significant difference in my journey.

When I came over to Canada to settle with my kids, I was having lots of bad thoughts and I was scared of having such new changes in my life with great responsibility.
When I joined CCIS Calgary: A New Chapter program, I realized there are a lot of people willing to support and dedicate themselves to clear the path for others especially for the newcomers, with a variety of touching different sectors in Canadian Culture, Law and Order, Networking and Job Hunting and much more .... all of that gave me a great motivation to move forward and have more confidence to blend-in with the society quickly and easily.
For that I am truly thankful for the efforts had been taken place to support me, and its helped to build up the spirit in myself of helping others in the future.
