Empower Canadian Pakistanis for a brighter future. 

Established on December 25th, 2023, in the vibrant city of Calgary, the Canadian Pakistani Community Organization (CPCO) was founded to meet the pressing needs of a community that has burgeoned to over 35,000 immigrants from Pakistan. The inception of our organization in Calgary underscores our commitment to addressing the unique challenges and opportunities faced by the Pakistani diaspora in this thriving Canadian city.
At CPCO, we believe in the power of community, and that's why we've taken a unique approach – every immigrant from the Pakistani community living in Calgary is, by default, a member of our association. This inclusive membership model ensures that our organization is truly representative of the diverse experiences and backgrounds within the community. It creates a platform where every individual can actively participate, engage, and benefit from the resources and support offered by the Canadian Pakistani Community Organization.
Calgary, known for its cultural diversity and welcoming atmosphere, serves as the backdrop for our mission to create a non-religious, non-political, and non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of Pakistani newcomers. The realization that the community had surpassed 35,000 immigrants fueled our resolve to establish an entity that could provide essential support and resources for individuals and families navigating the complexities of resettlement.
At the Canadian Pakistani Community Organization, we pride ourselves on being a community-driven organization that seeks to build bridges, foster unity, and create a sense of belonging. Our programs, events, and initiatives are designed to facilitate cultural exchange, social integration, and professional development, ensuring that every member of the Pakistani community in Calgary finds the support they need to thrive in their new home.
Join us in our commitment to making Calgary a welcoming and supportive place for all, as we work together to build a resilient and interconnected community that celebrates diversity and embraces the shared experiences of our Pakistani members.
