When you immigrate from a different country, everything becomes overwhelming. The first two months in Calgary were the most confusing and overwhelming of my life. It was not easy to get the correct information.

When I asked people from my community, they told me what it was like 7 or 10 years ago. Coming from a different culture, food, and lifestyle, it was challenging to find my starting point in Calgary. I felt like I was lost in a different universe.

Calgary: A New Chapter workshop gave me a starting point, and all the CCIS staff made me feel like they have my back. The workshop helped me to focus on my strengths.

CCIS' Calgary A New Chapter was paramount to make my settlement journey easier. The program covers all the essentials a newcomer like myself has to learn and adapt to. Also, it was a great opportunity to meet people and build new connections. I'm forever grateful for this opportunity.
