When arriving a new Country or community, one is faced with a lot of questions and emotions and if we do not turn in the right direction we may get wrong information or counsels from various sources. This is why it is a great comfort and source of reassurance to have organizations like CCIS guide and support you while trying to settle down.
Calgary: A New Chapter was a very informative and welcoming experience for us because we got invaluable information about education, health services, security services, employment guide and much more. We highly recommend this program for new comers to this beautiful city.
Thanks to the organizers of Calgary: A New Chapter Program. I arrived in Calgary without a direction. I was confused with everything happening as it differs from my home country. I was recommended by a friend to follow up with CCIS.
My encounter with CCIS changed my perspective through the Calgary: A New Chapter online session. Information is the core of a successful life in Canada. This webinar gave an in-depth insight into healthcare, taxes, education, mental health, workplace culture, getting a job, etc. At the end of this webinar, something in me was altered and a platform for success was birthed. I became optimistic, focused, result-oriented, and a goal-getter.
Although challenges will come, with the information I have been exposed to by the organizers of this webinar, I feel more than ready to go through it and come out a success.
I am recommending every new immigrant get in touch with CCIS and be part of this webinar titled Calgary: A New Chapter Program.
"Calgary: A New Chapter" workshop is a must-attend for all newcomers to Calgary. I had been here for 2 months and after attending the sessions, for the first time felt like I'd finally started getting to know this city. The sessions were very informative and made me comfortable with the Canadian system. Before this, I felt like I was shooting darts in the dark. Everything needed to be googled, and even that seemed a struggle.
I am very grateful to the coordinator for her brilliant facilitation skills to ensure that we had the best industry experts talk on their field of relevance and impart tremendously helpful knowledge. I wish I had taken this course the day I landed in Calgary! "
Thanks to the pandemic, I had almost two years to prepare myself before landing in Canada. I thought I had done thorough research and practically knew everything I needed to help me settle down and start a new life in Calgary. But, to be honest, the program Calgary: A New Chapter was an eye-opener and helped me understand in detail various topics which I knew on the surface level prior to my landing.
I am very grateful to be a part of this program and it helped me provide a platform to express myself without any fear of judgement and understand that I am not the only one going through all these emotions of excitement, happiness, anxiety, sadness etc.
I would highly encourage all the newcomers to be a part of this program and help themselves in settling down and gaining friendships that can last for years to come.
As a newcomer, the Calgary: A New Chapter webinars helped me a lot. The session was well organized with all the necessary information a new migrant needs to settle and integrate. I strongly recommend that all newcomers attend this program. I would like to appreciate the facilitator for her graceful coaching.

“Calgary A New Chapter” program has given me, as a newcomer, an insight on how to be better oriented. It’s a full package that will benefit all newcomers. I strongly recommend it. Thank you CCIS for giving me the opportunity to join this workshop.
Calgary: A New Chapter program is the right place and the right source to get information and advice as a newcomer to Canada. I relocated to Calgary six weeks ago. At the beginning, I tried to get information about life in Calgary from friends, and acquaintances but I received partial or innacurate information. Now, after I attended the Calgary: A New Chapter program, all the information is clear. Calgary: A New Chapter program is the best place for everybody, but especially for newcomers.
Thank you very much CCIS, for giving me the opportunity to join this special program, Calgary: A New Chapter!
Calgary: A New Chapter, this programme is undeniably beneficial for the new comers. I arrived in Calgary on last November. I was literally confused about what could be Calgary to me? Is this city really meant to me to pursue my career? Where should I go to get started with? There were a lot of questions in my head. Then I got a reference about CCIS from one of our friend and I ended up registering with Calgary: A New Chapter online orientation session. It was a perfect start for me to understand the city in detail and I think this is very essential for a new comer.
Moreover, all the topics covered by this programme are mandatory and are greatly useful in many ways for proper living in Calgary. For instance, the topic “You and the Law “presented by the Calgary Police Service, “Banking in Canada” by RBC.I would say that these presentations were an eye opener for me. There were classes lead by Alberta Health services that assisted me to realize the basic procedures to find out the health care services and the benefits of health insurance in Calgary. This programme also covered the Canadian citizenship requirements, Job search strategies, Frauds and scams and finally the Canadian tax system. All the resources were excellent motivators including the Host.
I feel extremely delighted because I found the way to achieve my goal. Calgary: A New Chapter would be my first reference forever. Thank you.
I arrived in Canada a year ago. I didn't know anything about life in Canada until I attended Calgary: A New Chapter program.
The information given was very important, helping us and advising us about many things that I had never known before. It was a 3 day workshop, but believe me 3 days of continuous information, and very important guests.
I totally enjoyed it and I learned a lot in a comfortable environment. This workshop has been very inspiring and I’m really delighted to have been able to be a part of it. Thank you from my heart!
