Community supports

Starting off in a new country and culture can be intimidating. The Government of Canada, the province of Alberta, and the city of Calgary all have services in place to help ease this transition.

The city of Calgary has on its own website, with information ranging from transit, housing, police, health care, and much more.

The Centre for Newcomers’ service has been a key resource for immigrants and refugees of all nationalities in Calgary. They view the integration of newcomers as a two-way process of experience, influence, and impact between newcomers and the communities that welcome them.
