The Centre for Newcomers is a not-for-profit resource centre based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, that supports immigrants and refugees with settlement and integration services and information. Founded in 1988, it provides training programs and collaborative supports to promote full integration, cultural diversity, community participation, and citizenship, serving more than 10,000 newcomers annually. The Centre contributes to local, provincial, and national leadership in immigrant settlement and integration and collaborates with associations such as the Alberta Association of Immigrant Serving Agencies, the Private Career Development Contractors Association, and the Canadian Immigrant Settlement Sector Alliance. Its two-way approach to integration emphasizes mutual influence between newcomers and Calgary's communities, underpinned by a culture of respect, cooperation, and trust, with recent collaboration including a partnership with the Ismaili Institutions of Canada.
