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.

Over the past three days, I had the honour of participating in Calgary: A New Chapter.
As a newcomer, I found this program to be a true game-changer.
The sessions were packed with valuable insights from incredible speakers who not only shared their expertise but also took the time to answer our questions with detail and care.
It covered essential topics such as policing, scams and fraud awareness, employment, healthcare and stress management, and overall guidance making it a comprehensive resource for newcomers.
This program is a fantastic opportunity for new Canadians to navigate their settlement journey smoothly.
I sincerely appreciate the CCIS team, the program coordinator, and the guest speakers for their dedication, teamwork, and outstanding presentation of the program.
A big thanks to Iuliana for this amazing program.

I have learned so much valuable information from the Calgary: A New Chapter course with Iuliana. Iuliana is an amazing course facilitator and understands the daily struggles through which new immigrants go.
The course is created with one goal in mind, to assist newcomers to understand their new city and the work, social and cultural environment.
The fact that the guest speakers are all immigrants to Canada and Calgary with success stories which started a lot like mine, make the course so relevant but also inspirational.
The course topics are very well selected and presented, every new immigrant to Calgary can benefit from this course.
