Welcome to Calgary

No matter where you come from, Calgary has programs and services to help you settle in your new home.

Getting started

Organizations to help you get settled

  • The Calgary Newcomer Service Guide is a useful information tool for Calgarians, including organizations and individuals.

  • Visit Gateway Connects for more information on newcomer services and programs in Calgary.

  • Visit Translation and Interpretation Services to learn about the agencies and organizations that offer those supports.
