Attending Calgary: A New Chapter was one of the best decisions I have made after landing in Canada. It helped me understand the workings and the daily activities needed to be done while living in Canada and how to make my transition from my home country to Canada much smoother.
I couldn’t have asked for a better program coordinator who made sure that all of us in the program were made felt welcome and understood every aspect of the program. Thank you so much CCIS for integrating the Canada: a New Chapter.
The Calgary New Chapter program is a great initiative by CCIS to help new immigrants settle in Canada in almost every way of life. This program must be attended by every newcomer as it would help them prepare for every situation such as housing laws, medical facilities and fraudulent calls/emails, basics about job search, importance of networking and understanding police services in Calgary.
I would like to thank the coordinator for organizing such a wonderful program and helping me bridge the gap.
Calgary: A New Chapter, as the name suggests is indeed A New Chapter in our Lives. The sessions are informative & enlightening and it helped a new immigrant like me to understand better the City’s Law and Order, The Health facilities available, Volunteering opportunities and also about Canada’s beautiful Parks and scenic wildlife.
The sessions have helped me integrate better and stronger into Calgary-Canada. Thank You to Calgary - New Chapter.
I had the opportunity of attending the "Calgary: A New Chapter" program at CCIS. This program gave me useful information and a greater understanding of how the various sectors-Alberta Health Services, the Calgary job market, the Police Service, Landlord's and Renters Association and much more- works here in Calgary. Being a newcomer, it would have been a lot more complicated and confusing to navigate the new environment rubric on my own.
Now, I have a better understanding of how the various sectors work and the best part is that I can always reach out to the facilitator at CCIS and 'Calgary: A New Chapter' for any future direction or support I need in this regard.
The Calgary: New Chapter is an invaluable program which helps newcomers settle in so comfortably. The CCIS team will forever remain one of my best memories. I really appreciate all the assistance provided and the wealth of information which was shared with us during the sessions.
Thank you CCIS, especially the program coordinator. God bless you and your team for the great work you doing for newcomers.

When I came over to Canada to settle with my kids, I was having lots of bad thoughts and I was scared of having such new changes in my life with great responsibility.
When I joined CCIS Calgary: A New Chapter program, I realized there are a lot of people willing to support and dedicate themselves to clear the path for others especially for the newcomers, with a variety of touching different sectors in Canadian Culture, Law and Order, Networking and Job Hunting and much more .... all of that gave me a great motivation to move forward and have more confidence to blend-in with the society quickly and easily.

Calgary: A New Chapter was really enlightening. I had my share of fears arriving Calgary, Canada but the orientation sessions allayed my fears and worries. I understood the key issues needed to integrate and settle in Canada e.g. housing, job search skills and cultural adaptation.
It was really a right place to be, a session I would recommend to every newcomer.
