Welcome To Calgary - Heart of New West

I couldn’t be more appreciative to attend the sessions of Calgary: A New Chapter program held by CCIS to support newcomers to Canada.

Each session was insightful, engaging, and packed with useful information that truly helps newcomers navigate life in Canada with confidence.

A big thank you to Iuliana who organized the whole thing from A to Z, and the guest speakers for their effort and dedication in creating such a meaningful learning experience.

This program is an incredible resource for anyone looking to build a strong foundation and feel more connected in the Canadian community.

Calgary: A New Chapter program is absolutely helpful to all new immigrants of Calgary. I would highly recommend every newcomer to attend this program because it is very informative and practical. From education to banking, from laws to job seeking, it includes everything you need to know in the first month of arrival.

I am deeply grateful to CCIS for the opportunity to participate in the Calgary: A New Chapter program. It was an invaluable experience that provided me with a strong understanding of Canada’s governance, local systems, and what it truly means to settle and thrive in a new country.

The program was thoughtfully designed and expertly delivered, offering practical guidance while also fostering a genuine sense of community and belonging. From navigating everyday systems to gaining insight into professional and civic life in Canada, every session contributed meaningfully to building my confidence and awareness. What could have been an overwhelming transition was transformed into a positive and empowering experience.

I extend my sincere appreciation to the presenters, project coordinator, and the entire CCIS team, and the government, for their dedication, expertise, and genuine commitment to supporting newcomers. Programs like this are truly a lifeline, equipping newcomers with the knowledge, connections, and confidence needed to embrace Calgary as home and build fulfilling professional and personal lives.

I highly recommend the CCIS Calgary: A New Chapter program to anyone beginning their settlement journey. It is a meaningful investment in long-term success and well-being. Thank you.
