Meet Jessica
Jessica is a Certified Canadian Immigration Consultant who advises clients on most Canadian immigration issues. She immigrated to Canada in 2014 through family sponsorship. Grateful for this amazing opportunity, she wants to be an instrument in fulfilling other people’s dreams of moving to Canada as well. When she moved to Canada, she is fortunate enough to work as a Financial Advisor in the Bank, working with newcomers and helping them to settle easier and build a stronger future in Canada.
Jessica has worked for big corporations such as Banco De Oro, Generali Group, HSBC, Thomson Reuters and Scotiabank, serving internal and external clients. She also worked with big corporate clients such as Bank of America, Bank of Tokyo, Mizuho, JP Morgan, BNP Paris, HSBC, Citibank, Deutsche and Royal Bank of Scotland in Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, India, New Zealand and Australia – mostly for treasury teams of these global banks. Her decade of strong background in sales, relationship and account management in the financial industry in Canada and ASEAN region has provided her with a strong understanding of different culture and personalities, problem solving, leadership, communication skills and customer service.
In her free time, Jessica loves to design accessories for women, plant terrariums, and she enjoys balloon decorating too!
