Watch the video below for testimonials from happy employers.
Skilled immigrants possess talents or accreditation in a variety of fields. Employers can benefit from understanding international credentials and conducting workforce planning that emphasizes the quality of an immigrant’s abilities.
Many skilled immigrants speak other languages and have worked outside of North America. Their knowledge of international business practices can help you tap into new local markets and build relationships around the world, as well as serve Calgary and Southern Alberta’s growing multicultural markets.
Many skilled newcomers arrive with high levels of education and extensive work experience. They have recognized an opportunity for a new life in Canada and bring to the Canadian workplace openness, adaptability, and positive attitudes toward learning new skills and contributing their expertise to the local labour market.
Attracting and retaining top talent has more positive long-term impact on relieving labour shortages than short-term expensive tactics, such as escalating compensation and benefit packages.
Integrating skilled newcomers to the team helps employers and Canadian-born employees enhance their understanding of the challenges newcomers face, as well as benefit from the diverse experiences and the wealth of skills they bring with them.
Awards, such as the Canada’s Best Diversity Employers and many local honours, recognize the good work that employers do to capitalize on skilled immigrant talent and to help newcomers launch their careers here in Canada.

Alberta is investing in the economy: to train the right people, to increase retention rates and increase productivity. As an employer, YOU decide the type of training, whether it’s to train new or existing employees for future organizational growth.
CCIS (Calgary Catholic Immigration Society) is a non-profit organization which provides settlement and integration services to all immigrants and refugees in Southern Alberta.
Since our inception in 1981, we have been a community leader with solid experience in the design and delivery of comprehensive services for our newest neighbours. We deliver these services through a dynamic multi-cultural, multi-denominational and multi-disciplinary team of professionals, who collectively speak over 60 languages.
In partnership, we empower immigrants and refugees to successfully settle and integrate in our communities.
An inclusive society where immigrants and refugees can reach their full potential.
CCIS believes:
That each individual is unique and of value.
That we all have a responsibility to build a healthy community.
In a holistic approach in working with individuals and community.
In constant attention, sensitivity and flexibility throughout the ongoing process of relationship building.
In ethical practices.
In volunteerism.
In innovation and creativity.
People in cities around the world have taken a united stand against police brutality and systemic racism. It is heartening to hear this collective call to end the policies and practices, entrenched in our institutions, that result in the exclusion and oppression of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, as well as members of the LGBTQ+ community.
It is important for each of us to remember that the racism and oppression we see in our justice systems and police forces are symbolic of the prejudices that exist in our society as a whole. We must therefore work together to eradicate racism, not only from our institutions, but from every aspect of our communities.
The responsibility lies with each of us to identify, address and prevent instances of racial discrimination, and prejudiced attitudes and behaviours. By addressing both individual and systemic racism, we can set an example for our children, and move closer to a society that upholds justice, equality, and respect for all.
CCIS believes that every person is unique, of value, and deserving of equality and respect. We also believe in working together to build healthy communities. Our organization’s vision is a society wherein immigrants and refugees, and all people, can reach their full potential. This vision can only be achieved if we collectively combat racism in all its forms and shapes.
CCIS continues to take an active role in standing against individual and systemic racism and oppression, and we wish to express our solidarity with those in our city, and around the world, who are working together for a better tomorrow.
