Immigration Consultant
Caitlin Thomas
I graduated from Monash University in Australia with a Bachelor of Biomedical Science and a Bachelor of Laws (Honours). I practiced as a lawyer specializing in personal injury litigation in Melbourne for over two years before embarking on a worldwide travel adventure that eventually led me to settle in Whistler and gain Permanent Residence in Canada.
Having navigated the immigration process myself from start to finish, I understand the emotional challenges clients face and am committed to ensuring that their applications receive the highest level of care and attention to detail to maximize the likelihood of success.
I completed the Certificate in Immigration: Laws, Policies and Procedures at the University of British Columbia in September 2017 and became licensed to practice as a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (R530663) in October 2018.

I have been through the immigration process myself (twice!) and I know how intimidating it can be. I have worked in the legal field for over nine years; I am capable in many areas, organized, and fluent in French. I have a passion for helping people and, as a newly licensed Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant, I am enjoying gaining knowledge and experience with our passionate team of immigration professionals.
I have lived and worked in four different countries and, after spending over a decade in Europe, I am proud to call Canada my home now. I am currently based in Revelstoke and I love getting out in the mountains with my two children.
