New Comers

New to Canada?

Are you new to Canada? Missing your family and friends?
All Immigrants arriving in Canada miss their family, friends, familiar food and community. They have to start all over again to build a new life, make new friends and find a place in the new community.
This is a very challenging task for all new comers and may seem even more daunting if they have no friends or relatives to support them. With a view to assist the new comers to settle in Calgary, the NCSC would be more than happy to provide the necessary information and moral support.

The newcomers in Calgary could get more information and support from the following organizations:

Human Rights Code
The Ontario Human Rights Commission administers the ‘Human Rights Code’ and is responsible for making sure that the code is respected. Protecting human rights are every one’s responsibility. We all have an obligation to respect each other’s human rights and to speak out against discrimination and harassment for ourselves and for others.
