The Community Support Services program, formerly called TFW Support Services, receives funding from the federal & provincial government.  We have been in operation since 2008. 

We assist Temporary Residents and their dependents who hold work permits under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, International Mobility Program, or Post-Graduate Work Permit Program. The support starts in the airport reception and continues in the community they belong to. 

Our objective is to help foreign workers develop the life skills they need to reach their full economic potential. We foster self-reliance through education and empowerment while they live and work whether it is temporarily, or as they transition to permanent residency.  

In collaboration with government agencies, consulates, employers, educational institutions, communities and other relevant stakeholders, we establish best practices and strategies which create positive experiences for temporary foreign workers, as we pro-actively facilitate their integration into the workplace. 

We offer services in Calgary and the area, Brooks & Newell County, Banff and the Bow Valley Corridor. 

Program staff speak English, Spanish, Tagalog, French, Farsi, Urdu, Korean & Hindi.
