Ravi Singh Parmar (born November 15, 1994) is a Canadian politician who was elected MLA for Langford-Juan de Fuca in a by-election in 2023.

Both his mother and father worked in the healthcare sector while raising Parmar and his two younger siblings in the city of Langford, British Columbia.

Both parents experienced severe job insecurity due to the active privatization of the healthcare sector, resulting in difficult times for the family.

[13] It was also in this early period of his life when Parmar had his first formal entry into government work, serving under former Premier John Horgan as a constituency assistant in his MLA office and as a campaign manager for several BC NDP candidates.

[15] During his time with Forests, Parmar worked closely with then-Minister Doug Donaldson on the development and rollout of BC's Mass Timber Action Plan.

One month later on July 28, he was officially sworn in as MLA alongside fellow BC NDP by-election victor Joan Phillip.

[18] In February 2024, Parmar was officially appointed to be Parliamentary Secretary for International Credentials with the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills, serving alongside Minister Lisa Beare.

[20] Premier David Eby additionally assigned him to oversee the intake of international students in BC, with Parmar becoming an advocate for those seeking educational opportunities within the province.

Parmar was acclaimed in June 2024 to seek re-election in the new electoral district of Langford-Highlands, as the BC NDP candidate and incumbent MLA.
