What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Calgary. They wrote...
"Expats in Calgary often find it challenging to adjust to the local culture due to the city's relatively small size and the fact that it is not as diverse as other major cities. Additionally, the cold weather and long winters can be difficult to adjust to for those coming from warmer climates. Furthermore, the cost of living in Calgary is relatively high, making it difficult for expats to find affordable housing and other necessities. Finally, the local culture can be quite conservative, which can be difficult for those coming from more liberal backgrounds," commented one expat who made the move to Calgary, Canada.
