As exciting it is to arrive in Canada, settlement in a new place is always a challenge to an individual or family even if you have prior contacts or relatives in the city you are landing and planning to settle. Most might settle in the city they arrive but eventually might move to other parts of Canada depending on their jobs or for other reasons.
Welcome to Canada by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is an excellent guide for all arriving new to Canada to get idea on various aspects of this great place you have chosen to settle. Initially, Alberta and specifically Calgary will be the focus of the city that will be updated with more information and relevant contacts and we will add other cities eventually. We sincerely welcome you all to Canada.
