Talking Calgary

When did you land? When do you hope to land?

What made you decide on Calgary?

What area are you in?

How are you settling in?

Landed April and we chose Calgary due to a job offer and we liked the idea of living close to the mountains

Living in Royal Oak - just renting for now.

Still early days and a lot to get used to but looking forward to our first Xmas!

We wanted to come to Alberta, and seeing as Calgary is the biggest city we figured it might be easier to find jobs

What area are you in?
Up in the Central North - Country Hills

How are you settling in?
Fine

Haven't landed yet, but wish to as soon as circumstances permit (e.g. I get PR).

Probably no time soon then

Arrived just over 5 years ago.

Wife had lived here as a kid on and off in between living in the UK so we had some knowledge of the place.

We're in Coach Hill.

5 years+ and loving life in Calgary and area. We're big fans of the city for a whole bunch of reasons. Still embracing winters and Canadian life in general. Now have a little boy and have no plans to leave.
