Русскоязычная
община Калгари увеличивается не по дням, а по часам. Сегодня здесь живут
иммигранты со всех концов нашей бывшей необъятной Родины . Теперь все они -
новые канадцы, граждане и постоянные жители не менее необъятной Канады. Мы
приветствуем всех, кто едет сюда с добрыми намерениями и открытым сердцем.
Одной из своих основных задач наша
организация считает помощь вновь прибывающим в Калгари
русскоговорящим гражданам.
Как бы не были вы подготовлены к такому важному шагу, как иммиграция, всегда
полезно получить дополнительную информацию и советы от людей, уже успешно
прошедших это испытание. Мы постараемся предоставить вам как можно больше
конкретной информации, имеющей отношение к Калгари по
всем жизненноважным вопросам, ту информацию, которая
нужна человеку в новом, незнакомом пока для него городе.
Мы на личном опыте знаем, как
даются первые шаги. С одной стороны - радость от достигнутого результата, а с
другой - растерянность перед неизвестностью. Вы начинаете новую жизнь и делать
это, безусловно, придется самостоятельно. Однако очень важно пойти в
правильном направлении, не тратить время даром на то, что можно сделать быстро
и безболезненно, зная, как это делать!
