About This Cause
Who We Are For over 40 years, Immigrant Services Calgary has been working to make a meaningful difference in the lives of newcomers, connecting them to vital programs and services to successfully begin a new chapter of their lives in Canada. We continually innovate in our work, reimagining and transforming the newcomer experience to make it easier to connect with services and support in the way that’s best for our clients. In 2021, Immigrant Services Calgary launched Gateway—a collaboration among organizations to better serve and support newcomers who choose to make Alberta their new home. By creating streamlined and actionable plans, Gateway makes it easier and faster for newcomers to access vital settlement services. What We Do Though they have unique stories, all newcomers have one thing in common: a personal history that predates their arrival in Canada. Some are doctors, entrepreneurs, and artists, while others are students, caregivers, and parents—all are individuals with personal dreams for their future. We help them build those dreams in Canada. We help newcomers: • Find a place to live • Find a job • Assess English language skills and access language classes • Learn about daily life in Canada • Learn about government benefits and community resources Our Impact (2023-2024 Fiscal Year) • 43,740 services provided to 25,623 newcomers from 145 countries to help them to build thriving lives in Calgary • 17,002 language tests to help newcomers access English language classes, schooling, and certifications • 11,520 assessments completed to ensure newcomers are connected to the best programs and services to meet their needs
