I have appeared in language test at Genesis Centre.i am very glad to attend this service. My Counselor Kanwaljeet helped me a lot and guided me properly.
I recommend everyone to contact the Immigrant Services Calgary. We recently moved to Calgary and we had many problems that we could not solve. Turning to the Immigrant Services Calgary, we found the answers to all our questions and came across wonderful, qualified staff. Our special thanks to the professionalism, kindness and sincerity of Mihaela Turtureanu which gave us a lot of time in a personal meeting and helped with the necessary materials later by e-mail and phone communication. We are very glade to be in the Immigrant Services Calgary. Thanks .
Very helpful and informative for anyone starting anew in Calgary. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's free of charge, this is top notch service and an all around positive experience. The employment counselor Krisztina Kelemen was particularly helpful, being sincere and easy to talk to, while providing practical advice on how to improve one's resume and where to look for job prospects.
such an amazing experience! I learned so much and received hands on assistance with my job search.
I cannot express my satisfaction with the services I received. I was referred to ISC about a year ago when I was desperate for translation services after a struggle with other services that ripped me off and at thesame time provided me with very poor translation. I was giving up and thought of even sending my documents back home To get it done. I was so fortunate to meet Rana Hamodah and her team and it was so good to be true! I did not believe such service existed till I got all my documents professionally translated and in no time and at a very reasonable prices. Rana Hamodah and her team at ISC are Extremely efficient and professional. I wish I found them earlier and saved my business and self the hassle, time and finances. I will no longer look further and I highly recommend them to any personal or business needs.
Teresa Lian and Carlen Ng from Immigrant Services Calgary, we would like to thank you both for being so helpful and making sure we understood everything. It was an absolute pleasant experience to be assisted by you. Thank you!
I really appreciate the advice provided to me by one of your agents.
The guidance was useful. It will help me resolve educational issues that I always faces. Thanks.
Mrs Meenakshi lamba had guided us well and made aware of the oppurtunites and hurdles for us. We look forward to work with her more.
I am very happy with services ISC providing. Specifically I'd like to compliment Nicole Haddad, for the excellent service she provided me for the last four months. Ms. Haddad helped me with food bank order and with my English classes.
She went the extra mile by asking more questions and offering solutions for my difficult situation. She could have just done minimal work/help, but she provided so much extra help and advice which I did not expect at all.
I would highly recommend all immigrants contact ISC for all matters.
Very happy with the work done by the translators. Very professional work. It is super easy to send your documents on their website and receive a quote. The price is very competitive, and it is worthy as I received the electronic package with the affidavit, translation and original copy of my document certified and stamped. They say it takes them 5-7 business days but their turnaround time is actually quicker. I highly recommend ISC for the translation services., and definitely will come back in case I need their services again.
I would like to thank and congratulate the attendance that I have got today when I was doing my CLB test. Ouew, Emily and Mihaela were exceptional and Mihaela specifically was extremely helpful and empathic about my particular problem. This service makes all the difference, especially when we are talking about newcomers who need the maximum support to start and remake their stories.
