Founder

Yalda Ahmadvand

“In my early career, I discovered the profound impact that education can have on people’s lives. Working closely with students from diverse backgrounds inspired me to create a space where learning goes beyond textbooks — a place where students feel supported, empowered, and confident to pursue their dreams. When I founded DEA Canadian College, my vision was to build an inclusive community that nurtures personal growth, celebrates diversity, and equips students with the knowledge and skills to make a positive difference in the world. Seeing our students transform their ambitions into reality continues to be the most rewarding part of this journey.”
