Pavitra Rishta, Shuruwat Naye Rishte Ki

Indian matchmaker for NRI families in VancouverFor Punjabi and Indian families from Surrey to Vancouver

Pavitra Rishta is an offline marriage bureau in Kolkata, founded in 2006 by Sunil Kejriwal and Priyanka Kejriwal. Indian families in Vancouver, Surrey and the Fraser Valley come to us for a match chosen personally, from the same community and with the same values. Many of them are Punjabi, and we also work with Marwari, Jain, Gujarati and Maheshwari families. We speak Punjabi, Hindi and English. The first meeting is a video call fixed for a time that suits the Pacific coast and India, or at our Kolkata office for parents in India. A dedicated Relationship Manager then shortlists suitable profiles and speaks to the other family before you see them.

Vancouver families choose the Elite or Signature package, valid for 12 months.

Indian families in Vancouver and Surrey

The Vancouver area's Indian community is long established, and much of it is Punjabi. Surrey is well known for its many Punjabi families, gurdwaras and Indian businesses, and the Punjabi Market on Main Street is a long-standing shopping area in the city. Families here work in construction, transport, real estate, farming in the Fraser Valley, healthcare and technology.

Some families have been in British Columbia for generations, and others arrived recently as students or skilled workers. Parents ask whether the match is a citizen or PR, whether the couple will stay near family in BC, and whether the other side keeps the same religious and family traditions.

How Vancouver families work with us

Vancouver is 12 hours 30 minutes behind India in summer and 13 hours 30 minutes behind in winter. Evening in Vancouver is the next morning in India, so most first meetings take place after work in BC, with parents in India joining from home or from our Kolkata office.

On the Elite package, Saket Kejriwal meets your family personally, and on Signature, founder Sunil Kejriwal does. Your Relationship Manager follows up by phone, shares profiles only with your permission and arranges the family meeting once both sides approve. If the families are in two countries, the first meeting is usually on video.

Can you find a Punjabi match for my daughter in Surrey?

Yes. Punjabi families are one of the communities we work with, and we speak Punjabi. Your Relationship Manager looks for suitable profiles that fit your daughter's education, work and plans to stay in Canada, and talks to the other family first. You see only the few that fit.

How do calls work with the time difference from Vancouver?

India is 12 hours 30 minutes ahead of Vancouver in summer and 13 hours 30 minutes ahead in winter. Office hours are Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm IST. Parents in India can join from home, and we fix a time that suits both sides.
