Luis himself announced it on his social media: "I am beyond thrilled to announce that I will be proudly representing Canada at the upcoming Mister Supranational 2023 pageant. After years of being a devoted pageant fan and watching from the sidelines, I am grateful for the chance to finally take the stage and showcase my beautiful country". His statement continues: "It is an incredible honor to wear the Canada sash and represent a country that has given me so much. I am excited to bring my best to the competition. I am determined to work hard and prepare myself to the fullest so that I can put my best foot forward and compete for the prestigious Mister Supranational title. I am grateful for all the love and support that I have received from my family, friends, and pageant community. Without you all, this would not have been possible. I am eager to share my journey with you all and represent Canada to the best of my ability".
