Emi Chicoine's parents Alain and Mrs. Chicoine added her to a talent agency at a young age and contributed to her acting development career. 

Her father Alain Chicoine is the director and producer and also serves as the creative vice president and partner at KOTV as per Narcity. He is known for Les gars des vues (2014), Les Simone (2016), and Plan B (2017). Likewise, he has nine directorial credits to his name, which include L'oeil du cyclone, Bye-Bye, Le coeur a ses raisons, etc. 

Emi's dad is described as a creator at heart and is acclaimed as one of the most prolific and versatile directors in Quebec. Be that documentaries, magazines, situation comedies, live recordings, variety, or reality TV series, he plays a part in the arts and creative sectors.

Thanks to her father Alain, Emi discovered her love for entertainment at a young age as she began to roam the sets very early on at the age of only two she followed her father. She became familiar with the eye of the camera and working on sets ever since.

This awakened her desire to be part of the community and as a result, her parents then enrolled her in an agency when she was just seven years old. This, what followed later was Emi landed her first speaking role in a film after a few extra contracts.

Talking about Emi's mother, few to no details have been explored on the web about her mom. It seems that Mrs. Chicoine prefers to keep herself away from media attention, unlike her husband and kids.2

2. Emi Chicoine Reveals She Made It On Her Own Without Her Father's Help.

Despite having such an outstanding director as a father, Emi admits that she never used that privilege to her own advantage.

She revealed that when she had done two auditions in front of her father, and there were only five actresses left for the final choice, his dad left the decision to be taken by Radio-Canada, and ultimately they chose her. She did it on her own without seeking Alain's help.

The actress has also shared her dream to follow in her father's footsteps and become a director one day.

Emi Chicoine played the role of Jade, the daughter of Isabelle (Christine Beaulieu), in L'œil du cyclone. And, this series was produced by her father, Alain Chicoine. 

The father and daughter duo have worked together while making the series and Emi revealed that she was able to separate things from the fact that Alain is both her dad and boss. However, she still calls her dad on the sets as it comes habitually. She also told that when her dad makes shows, he often shows her what he's doing, and in turn, she also gives her opinion.

When they shoot, it becomes somehow easier as both know what each other thinks and expects. And, when Emi is not doing her shoots, she could be often seen next to him asking him questions, to understand why he was doing one thing rather than another.
