CCIS stands as a beacon of support for all newcomers to Calgary and Southern Alberta, providing a welcoming and empowering environment where every individual, regardless of their background, is given the opportunity to navigate the complexities of settling in a new country with confidence and resilience.
Newcomers encompass a diverse range of people, including recent immigrants, refugees, and community members facing unique challenges in adapting to their new environment. Many of our team members at CCIS share a similar journey, having been newcomers to Canada themselves, which enables them to empathize with and comprehend your aspirations and challenges as you seek a better future in your new home. We are here to help you achieve your dreams!
