Welcome To Calgary - Heart of New West

My name is Sanghamitra, and I am thrilled to share my experience with the Calgary: A New Chapter program. As a newcomer to Canada, this program has been instrumental in helping me navigate the challenges of settling into a new country and advancing my career.

With over 10 years of experience in project management, business analysis, and customer service, I arrived in Canada eager to contribute my skills and expertise to the local job market. However, transitioning to a new environment came with its own set of challenges, and that's where the Calgary: A New Chapter program made all the difference.

The program provided me with the resources, guidance, and support I needed to effectively integrate into the Canadian workforce. Through the information sessions, I gained a deeper understanding of the Canadian job market, refined my resume, and honed my interview skills. The program also connected me with a network of professionals and fellow newcomers, which has been invaluable in building my confidence and expanding my professional network.

One of the most valuable aspects of the program was the diverse range of sessions that addressed critical areas for newcomers. The sessions on mental health and well-being were particularly enlightening, offering guidance on maintaining a healthy mindset during the transition to a new country. The LinkedIn profile enhancement session provided actionable strategies to make my profile more appealing to potential employers, which has been instrumental in expanding my professional network. Additionally, detailed information on obtaining an Alberta driving license and understanding the dos and don’ts of rules and regulations in Alberta were immensely helpful in navigating the practicalities of life in a new environment. These insights have equipped me with the tools and knowledge that will be invaluable as I continue my job search and work towards successfully integrating into my new community.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Calgary: A New Chapter program to any newcomer looking to establish themselves in Canada. It’s not just about finding a job; it’s about building a future, and this program equips you with the tools and support you need to succeed.

Thank you to the entire team at CCIS for your dedication and commitment to helping newcomers like me start a new chapter in Canada. I am excited to continue my journey and to contribute to the vibrant community here in Calgary.

My name is Helen, and I have attended the Calgary: A New Chapter orientation session at CCIS. The program was incredibly interesting and provided a comprehensive overview of Canada's systems and the main things newcomers should know. It was amazing!

The program has been a truly meaningful and empowering experience. When newcomers come, they should automatically be informed to attend CCIS' Calgary: A New Chapter.

I am incredibly thankful to the presenters for the things I have learned over this period.

Thank you so much to all the presenters and the project coordinator.

"Calgary: A New Chapter" is an excellent program for all newcomers in Canada especially for those who live in Calgary. We encounter a new environment and society with different people and cultures. Our great coordinator was the strength point of this beautiful pathway.

Thank you for your patience and kindness.
