I heard that Calgary has very good two nepalese associations. They compete each other to welcome you. Of course you have to a member of one of them once you reap benefits. Don't worry.. they even come to the airport to pick you up. and provide temporary accomodations among the members of the association until you find the suitable place to settle or find a some kind of job. Becasue it;s tough to pay high rent for apartment for newly arriving nepalese in Calgary, because you will be converting $amount into NRs. Monthly rent might be $800 to $1000 if you have family.. which already is NRs 65,000 a month.

Contact these, they even give you utensils to start your life. The members collect used utensils in their inventory to be supplied to the new-comers. So youdon't have to take any utensils from Nepal. But make sure you get confirmed response from the association people that they are picking you from the airport.

http://calgarynepalese.ca/  ------ this association has mostly highly educated Nepalese. They are the creams.
http://www.nepalisociety.ca/ ------ think twice before joining this.. but they might be better in extending you all sorts of helps beyond your expectation. Coz they are down to earth people.

So I heard.
