Calgary Catholic Immigration Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Calgary Catholic Immigration Society is a multicultural nonprofit volunteer organization located in Calgary, Alberta. CCIS offers settlement and integration services to refugees and recent immigrants to Canada, in the Southern region of the province of Alberta. The Society provides services to clients and volunteers in 45 languages. It provides practical support to immigrants, such as language, job searches, and other basic cultural integration skills, as well as offering special services for refugees and survivors of torture. The agency operates with a large paid staff as well as more than 700 volunteers.
The Calgary Catholic Immigration Society is a member organization of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Calgary, and receives some funding from Catholic Charities, but the services offered at CCIS are non-denominational, and the agency serves immigrants and refugees of all faiths or none.
