Living in Calgary

Calgary, Alberta is a large city with a population of 1,581,000. Calgary offers both a diverse population and economy. It offers affordable housing, low sales tax, and job opportunities, and it's a paradise for those who love the outdoors. As an Olympic city, it offers close access to some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.

Job Market

Calgary is home to many of Canada's oil and gas producers and is the decision-making hub and home office location of energy companies that do business in Canada. Calgary is becoming a global energy centre, with companies and organizations that work in alternative energies, green power, and environmental technologies. Small business and self-employment levels rank among the highest in Canada. Have questions? Speak to representatives from Immigrant Services Calgary.
