Our history

Guardian Nanny & Immigration Services Inc is one of the oldest professional immigration service companies in Canada.

The company created out of necessity by Darlene Bertsch, after the birth of her twins when she was desperate to find a nanny to help. Darlene started a search to find a qualified individual which took her around the globe where she found a professional nanny interested in coming to Canada.

The next step was navigating the Canadian immigration system to find an immigration pathway for her new nanny. Darlene’s sister Dawn Berard stepped forward to help and found she had a knack for deciphering the legal provisions, document requirements, and form completion. Dawn went on to complete her licensing to become a professional RCIC once the company was formed.  

Their success with navigating the process brought forward many people from their community seeking out their help so they too could bring help from overseas. Finally, their third sister Anita Blanchette, joined the team to bring her accounting expertise and the three sisters officially incorporated Guardian Nanny & Immigration Services Inc in September 2004.

In the fall of 2023, Laurie Parris took over the company. We knew she was the right fit and would carry on our practice with the same personal touch and care for every client.

After 20 + years of working in Canadian immigration we’ve come to know a lot about the immigration process and we’ve helped 100’s of people through it.
