What Our Clients Say About Us!
I participated in the Calgary: A New Chapter program, which is designed to help newcomers learn about essential topics for adapting to Canadian life.
The sessions were insightful, featuring various guest speakers, and everything was perfectly orchestrated thanks to Iuliana.
It was also a perfect opportunity to connect with other newcomers, whose experiences were equally interesting.
While immigrating to a new country can be utterly challenging, such programs are invaluable and make the process so much smoother.

"Calgary: A New Chapter" workshop is a must-attend for all newcomers to Calgary. I had been here for 2 months and after attending the sessions, for the first time felt like I'd finally started getting to know this city. The sessions were very informative and made me comfortable with the Canadian system. Before this, I felt like I was shooting darts in the dark. Everything needed to be googled, and even that seemed a struggle.
I am very grateful to the coordinator for her brilliant facilitation skills to ensure that we had the best industry experts talk on their field of relevance and impart tremendously helpful knowledge. I wish I had taken this course the day I landed in Calgary! "

It took me till starting the workshop before I could absolutely appreciate the meaning of the workshop name: Calgary A New Chapter. True to its name, the workshop provided me with hope for settling into a new chapter of my life. As a newcomer, the mixed feelings, uncertainty and anxiety that accompany relocating make this workshop a perfect therapy of hope.
Listening to the facilitator [Iuliana], brings all the soothe, calm, balm, hope and reassurances served in an atmosphere that inspired the participants.
