About Us
ParsA Foundation is a non-profit organization registered in Quebec, dedicated to supporting and empowering the Iranian-Canadian community. Since its establishment in Montreal in 2016, the Foundation has organized a wide range of cultural, educational, and professional activities—including citizenship ceremonies commemorating Nowruz, the annual Symposium of Iranian Professionals in Quebec (SIPQ), professional talks, community workshops, Nowruz galas, sports tournaments, and many more initiatives that foster both cultural pride and professional growth.
At the heart of ParsA Foundation is the Symposium of Iranian Professionals in Quebec (SIPQ), founded in 2016 by Dr. Reza Parsa Nejad. SIPQ was created to address the growing need for a supportive network among Iranian professionals and to provide a platform for knowledge-sharing across diverse fields such as economy, industry, business, science, trades, and personal development. It serves as a hub where established and newly arrived professionals alike can exchange ideas, create opportunities, and contribute to both the Iranian and broader Canadian communities.
Through these initiatives, ParsA Foundation provides a welcoming and professional environment that helps Iranian immigrants adapt, integrate, and thrive while staying connected to their cultural identity. By fostering meaningful connections and encouraging knowledge exchange, we aim to enrich the personal and professional experiences of our members and the larger community.
