What Our Clients Say About Us!
Thanks to the organizers of Calgary: A New Chapter Program. I arrived in Calgary without a direction. I was confused with everything happening as it differs from my home country. I was recommended by a friend to follow up with CCIS.
My encounter with CCIS changed my perspective through the Calgary: A New Chapter online session. Information is the core of a successful life in Canada. This webinar gave an in-depth insight into healthcare, taxes, education, mental health, workplace culture, getting a job, etc. At the end of this webinar, something in me was altered and a platform for success was birthed. I became optimistic, focused, result-oriented, and a goal-getter.
Although challenges will come, with the information I have been exposed to by the organizers of this webinar, I feel more than ready to go through it and come out a success.
I am recommending every new immigrant get in touch with CCIS and be part of this webinar titled Calgary: A New Chapter Program.

Calgary: A New Chapter is a wonderful program for newcomers. It helped me settle and integrate into the activities needed to be done while living in Canada. It helped me make a smooth transition from my home country to Canada.
The information you receive and the connections you make during the workshop is invaluable. Every settlement need is covered during this program.
The program coordinator and the various guest presenters ensure that they go that extra mile to address all your questions. Thank you CCIS and the wonderful people who make this program so useful and welcoming for newcomers like me!
