The program, Calgary: A New Chapter offers a wealth of valuable information and resources to newcomers settling in Calgary, Alberta ranging from Health, Banking, Employment, the Law and Order machinery, the beautiful Parks and also opens a window of opportunity to network with other newcomers facing the same challenges.
It will surely equip you with all the knowledge and information necessary to confidently go about making this beautiful city and country your home."
Calgary: A New Chapter program, was an eye opener for different topics that are of great importance to any newcomer: healthcare, personal finance, childcare, job search, PR and Citizenship, fair entry and a very good chance to network.
I would suggest every newcomer of Calgary attend this program because it will give you a clear idea of where our focus should be. Being from an entirely different country, with different cultures and value set, it will be difficult for us to build up our career here without having a connection and knowing about the basics about the culture of the country.
This is where CCIS and Calgary: A New Chapter program plays a significant role. They will guide us, connect with others and will not let us go until and unless we settle in this country. Good Luck."
For the Calgary: A New Chapter program, I really appreciate it and lucky enough that they’ve given me the chance to know more such as culture, education system (how to upgrade), environment as well and a lot more.
The program helped me and my family to take time to adjust and adopt the Canadian way. Thank you very much and I will definitely recommend every new comer to attend so that they will understand and adopt themselves here easily.
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.
Calgary: A New Chapter 3 day sessions is of great help, where new topics are discussed every day. Which is really important to know. They call area of expertise in the workshop and a clear knowledge about different areas are delivered, for example: Police Officer from Police department, bankers, health care, recreation, volunteering, linked in and many more.
So, yes when you attend Calgary: A New Chapter, you are confident enough to move cross over the city. For me Calgary: A New Chapter has been of absolute help, and I appreciate the hard work done by the presenters.
