With 2 kids in College in Canada and more to follow, I take comfort that Growasia’s financial services are there for us. Like most new immigrants with no credit scores, access to banks is a problem. Growasia is here to help new migrants unlock financing challenges.

As an immigrant myself, I understand how difficult it can be to access financial services and resources without local credit history or the right connections. GrowAsia offers tailored lending solutions that help newcomers establish themselves, build their credit, and achieve their dreams. This venture is about more than just business for me - it’s a way to give back and make settling in Canada a little easier for those who are starting fresh.

Being part of GrowAsia offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact. As a newcomer to Canada with first-hand experience, I know I can play a crucial role as Chief of Marketing by shaping the Company’s direction and efforts to the seamless integration of individuals who are starting new lives in a foreign country.

My motivation to be part of Growasia is deeply personal. My own immigration journey fuels my passion for helping new immigrants integrate into Canadian society. By leveraging our resources and network, we aim to provide the support and guidance necessary for newcomers to successfully navigate their transition and thrive in their new environment.

While I see many of my fellow immigrants having the training and experience in different trade skills, their expertise may not be easily transplanted in Canada. Trade skill certifications are required and assistance in navigating through the different steps in obtaining those is clearly a need. Our Kababayans need our helping hand.
