Calgary is officially experiencing housing crises. Calgary needs more homes. We have a plan. Calgary is experiencing a housing crisis. One in five Calgary households are unable to afford where they currently live. That’s 80,000 households who are spending more than 30% of their income on housing. Low vacancy rates, higher than normal rent increases, and escalating home prices are putting Calgary’s competitive advantage as one of the world’s most livable cities at risk. To ease the strain and support Calgary’s prosperity now and for future generations, we need more homes in all shapes and sizes in all neighbourhoods. We have a plan to do that. The City of Calgary’s Housing Strategy names specific actions we can take as a city to address the housing crisis and remove barriers to housing affordability and economic prosperity. It includes five outcomes; Increase housing supply Support affordable housing providers Support The City’s housing subsidiaries Ensure housing choices meet the needs of equity-deserving populations Meet the affordable housing needs of Indigenous people living in Calgary The strategy incorporates the 33 actions recommended by the Housing and Affordability Task Force and a handful of additional new actions in addition to 38 previously Council-approved actions for work that is already underway. These proposed actions will increase the supply of market and non-market housing, ensuring that there is a diverse range of options in all communities so all Calgarians can find a home that meets their needs. Calgarians have asked many questions about some of the proposed actions. There have been frequent questions about two specific actions, parking and rezoning. This document provides additional information around the parking and rezoning actions to consider. The City of Calgary’s Housing Strategy will be reviewed by members of Council at the Community Development Committee meeting on Sept 14. People living in Calgary can hear the strategy and have their say at that meeting. https://www.calgary.ca/social-services/low-income/task-force.html?redirect=/housingstrategy |

DereI: Hello sir, Im moving to Waterloo from lagos, nigeria... As a new immigrant what food items will you advice me to come with... How do I even preserve them so they don't go bad befor I get to my destination? Please help.. Thanks in advance. |
Re: Coming To Calgary by DereI(f): 7:09am On Oct 01, 2023 |
MrALIVE: Not 100% impossible but very highly unlikely. Canadian employers request for SIN( social insurance number) before employment. |
Re: Coming To Calgary by MrALIVE: 1:10pm On Oct 01, 2023 |
DereI:but can one get unskilled jobs that do not require this SIN number like factory jobs,loaders? 1 Like |

DereI: How much do I need to migrate to Calgary? |
Re: Coming To Calgary by DereI(f): 2:38am On Oct 04, 2023 |
MrALIVE: Okay, I’ll clarify. Upon arrival into Canada as either a PR, a student or on spousal work permit, a Social Insurance Number (SIN) is issued to you. This is the number that identifies your legal stay in the country. It is your identity. If stolen can cause a huge chaos. This number is issued to you by the government of Canada and any employer who would want to employ you need this information in order to put you into their system. With this number, you can also file your tax return |
Re: Coming To Calgary by DereI(f): 2:43am On Oct 04, 2023 |
seemegold: Oh yes!!! Job availability depends on your skills set. There are platforms you can search for jobs. Like indeed, LinkedIn or directly on the companies website. If you’re looking for an IT job, you’d need to know what area you’re specializing or want to specialize, check the requirements posted and work to meet the skills |
