Team ARIANNE
Nobody understands relocation and settling into Canada quite like we do.
For nearly three decades, ARIANNE Relocation Canada has guided families, professionals, and executives through the full journey of moving to a new city. From understanding neighbourhoods and schools to navigating local systems and major housing decisions, our team is here to offer clarity, reassurance, and practical support at every step.
Our strength comes from lived experience. Each member of our team has gone through an international move, often with young children, careers in transition, and major decisions to make quickly. We know the questions that matter, the challenges that can feel overwhelming, and the small details that make a new country feel like home.
Founded in 1997 and based in Montreal, ARIANNE supports clients relocating across Canada, with team roots in France, Spain, India, the United States, and Quebec. Our broad perspective and deep local insight allow us to bridge cultural differences, explain local systems simply, and help clients start their new chapter with confidence.
In addition to our relocation expertise, we offer trusted real estate advisory services through certified real estate brokers. Whether you are renting, buying your first home in Canada, or making a long-term investment decision, we provide neighbourhood insight, school guidance, and clear explanations of the Canadian buying process. Our goal remains the same for every client. To ensure you feel informed, supported, and well guided.
At ARIANNE, we care deeply about your well-being, your family’s transition, and your long-term success in Canada. We are here to help you make thoughtful decisions, feel grounded in your new environment, and build a life you feel good about.
Manon Dumas
Founder and President
Certified Residential and Commercial Real Estate Broker (OACIQ)
Global Mobility and Newcomer Advisory Expert
Born and raised in Montreal in a bilingial family, I bring deep knowledge of the city’s neighbourhoods, schools, and community dynamics. My career has been shaped by nearly three decades of supporting newcomers, executives, and families as they relocate to Canada, evaluate their options, and make thoughtful decisions for their next chapter.
My own international experience across Europe, the United States, and Asia gives me a global perspective on what families and professionals truly need when settling into a new environment. This lived experience, combined with years of guiding thousands of clients, allows me to explain local systems clearly, anticipate concerns, and provide support that is both practical and deeply human.
In addition to relocation advisory, I also provide real estate guidance as a Certified Residential and Commercial Real Estate Broker (OACIQ), supported by the Agency Executive Officer (AOE) qualification. This enables me to accompany clients through the housing decisions that often come with a move such as understanding neighbourhood fit, school options, long-term value considerations, and the Canadian buying process. My work is grounded in ethics, clarity, and a proven record of trusted practice.
Whether a client is relocating from abroad, moving within Canada, or preparing for a future international assignment, my role remains the same. To reduce uncertainty, help clarify priorities, and offer expert, steady guidance so they can move forward with confidence and a sense of ease.
The story of ARIANNE (Ariadne and Theseus)
ARIANNE takes its name from the Greek myth of Ariadne and Theseus. In this timeless legend, Theseus slays the fearsome Minotaur, and Ariadne leads him out of the labyrinth with her golden thread. Ariadne’s heroic role in rescuing Theseus is a lot like what we do at ARIANNE, leading our clients out of the maze, so they can live happily ever after.
The hero’s journey begins with a flurry of excitement and enthusiasm. But even the bravest warriors will encounter obstacles and get discouraged. That’s where we step in, to lend a hand and offer a bit of wisdom, helping you overcome the challenges, avoid the headaches, capture the treasure, and arrive safely in your new land.
