Founder
Bachir Jamali
Born in Marrakech, Morocco in 1989, and after a career in the hospitality industry, I decided to immigrate to Canada in 2018 to pursue a second master's degree in Project Management at the Université du Québec en Outaouais UQO. After several professional experiences in Canada and following the various experiences of newcomers to Gatineau, I had the idea to found First Step Ottawa Gatineau following the great success that the Ottawa and Gatineau region is experiencing in terms of immigration.
