Calgary is a city of immigrants: 23 per cent of the city’s population have come here from other countries, ranking Calgary just behind Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver as the first choice for new Canadians. 

The city wants and welcomes newcomers, so there are dozens of organizations and agencies specifically dedicated to helping immigrants move and happily settle here.

In this section you’ll find links to relevant government and community agencies, as well as information on what you’ll need to immigrate to Canada, where to go to have your educational skills and qualifications assessed, and directories of cultural organizations and consulates.
