Could anyone suggest any temporary accommodation in Calgary for family of 3. For one or two weeks atleast. We are planning to move there by mid Feb.2005. Which part of Calgary is most convenient for new comers to settle down, any suggestion!

There is a Yahoo group called Calgary Immigrants.
It is not a desi group, but there are some desis in there as well.
You can become a member of that group and try posting a message there.
Those folks will know a lot about which areas are good and which are suited for new immigrants.

There is another group for IT professionals at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ITinCalgary/

If you are in IT, you can become a member of this group too.
But this one is not very active (kinda tells you something, doesn't it)

Try http://www.execsuite.ca/ These will be on monthly basis.
or http://www.places4rent.com/finder.asp?LOCID=33679
or homebase.ca for calgary.
Also you may want to check the Indian stores in NE Calgary since they have a board with available basement \\ temporary rentals.
Hope this helps.
