Participating in the Calgary: A New Chapter program was a meaningful and empowering experience in my journey as a newcomer to Canada. Moving to a new country comes with many challenges, but this program provided guidance, encouragement, and practical knowledge that helped me better understand the Canadian workplace and community.
Through this program, I gained valuable insights, confidence, and connections that continue to support my professional and personal growth. The support from the CCIS team made me feel welcomed and motivated to pursue my goals with determination.
I encourage other newcomers to take advantage of opportunities like this program. It can open doors, build confidence, and remind you that you are not alone in your journey. With the right support and perseverance, building a new life in Canada is absolutely possible.
If I could give this class 300% pass mark I surely won’t hesitate. The facilitator, Iuliana made an entire class of various nationality feel like her personal family member. Smooth delivery, packed with knowledge which made me truly feel like home in Canada.
A great investment of my time, no one could have given such amount of vital detail except this Class! Every new comer needs to make this a compulsory priority.
I would like to thank CCIS for the opportunity.
