Our Story
Alireza (Ali) Zarei, President
Ali Zarei, President and Founder of E2 Visa Now immigrated as a school-age child to Vancouver, B.C. Canada from Iran with his family seeking refugee asylum. His parents sold everything in Iran to give their children an opportunity to realize their personal and professional potentials. Life in Canada was not easy as the family often worked laborious jobs and struggled to those early days to live in their low-income apartment where they faced discriminatory backlash from some community members who didn’t support Canada taking in immigrants. The family’s sacrifice and hard work paid off as Ali and his siblings attained advanced degrees and achieved professional success in various professional positions like mathematics, medicine, education, and finance.
As a CPA, Ali has held positions as a Fortune 500 finance consultant, corporate controller, and CFO, but his true passion has been entrepreneurial. Having purchased his first rental property in his early 20s, Ali created a real estate portfolio and incubated several other start-up businesses into multi million-dollar companies.
