First, your search or curiosity of how to start living and becoming part of newcomers in Calgary is a good way to start off on the right track. Second for those who made the crucial decision and are now enduring (or enjoying) the cold, I congratulate you all the more.
Starting a new life in a foreign country is never easy. Canada is a multicultural country, a place where see familiar things that you’re used to and meet people coming from your homeland. All this will help you to adapt.
However, what I learned and I wanted to emphasize is the “eagerness to learn,” by far, in my opinion and has proven time and again, is the most vital character in becoming successful—from a newcomer to a person with a fulfilled dream, or on its way of making things happen.
I’m not there yet but I’m learning every day and I’ve also committed myself in imparting nuggets of survival tips (and random ramblings, occasionally).
