Olga – Israel

Carolina made the impossible for my family.
When we got a refusal of my mom’s H&C Immigration application in 2020 we got so frustrated and lost that I can’t find words to describe it. The immigration consultant who helped us to apply for the first time didn’t make it possible, she didn’t make anything more then filled out just forms and we were so unaware of we need to provide a lot of supportive documents to the application.

So, it was kind of obvious thing , that we were refused with that first application. After getting that refusal I didn’t know what can I do. My mom was in Canada at that time, she had only a visitor status and we also got the extension of visa only for 1 more month as the process was over, so there were no reasons for the officer to extend the visa again. That immigration consultant said to us she can’t do anything more and we need to find immigration lawyer if we want to go to the court, cause that was the only way after refusal she said.
I started looking for immigration lawyer in Winnipeg and found Carolina Fridman office.

Carolina talked to us and suggested to apply for the second time with all necessary documents gathered to make the application strong. We started gathering documents.  Her team were so helpful reviewing every single document and letter, answering all our questions. They supported us on the whole our way. We applied for the extension with Carolina’s team as well and we got extension. And also when all the documents were gathered we applied second time for the H&C program.
And we got it approved. I can’t believe it. It seemed impossible after first refusal to get the approval, it took around 1 year only. Now my mom is permanent resident. I will never stop thanking Carolina as she just changed our life for forever. Thank you so much Dear Carolina.

Rup Rizal – Nepal

I am so pleased with the work Carolina did on my immigration case. I had one of the most difficult cases but with Carolina’s immigration law expertise, I did not face any difficulty getting my PR approved. I was a refugee living in United States for 12 years without a passport and part of the challenge was to request a Single Journey Travel Document (SJTD) proving that I am a stateless refugee. My wife applied for spousal sponsorship from Canada. We were able to obtain the COPR and a SJTD and immigration had no questions on the paperwork Carolina submitted making the case as smooth as anyone would expect.

I would highly recommend anyone with simple to very complex immigration cases to work with Carolina and get the cases approved. Note- be prepared to answer all tough and thorough questions that Carolina would ask upfront so that she can prepare strong paperwork and supporting facts. Additionally if you work with Carolina, you might be in contact with Natalie. She is nice, knowledgeable and seem to have immigration background as well. These two ladies would make things possible.

Thank you Carolina law firm for helping me with my case.

Carolina makes bringing the families together her mission and we are lucky to have such a competent, professional, personable and knowledgeable person in our corner. Thanks Carolina!

If you are thinking of helping family or friends to come to Canada or applying for PR, work visa etc. do consider discussing your needs with Carolina. Importance of timely and correct advice cannot be emphasized enough.

Giaky Truong and Vinh Duong – Vietnam

We are super happy with the work that Carolina and her team did for us. Our case was very difficult. We were international students, with post-graduation work permits, and because of the bad advice of a Consultant, my husband lost his status, and had to get a special permit to stay in Canada, and then apply for work permit for a second time. Carolina found the way to do this, and because of her work, we could stay in Winnipeg until we received our Permanent Residence Visas. She is a fantastic lawyer. Thanks Carolina!!!!! We appreciate so much that you gave us life in Canada.

A. Wheler and C. Ortiz – Dominican Republic

My name is Arlene Ortiz. My husband Carlos and I are enjoying a life in Canada because of Carolina. She believed in us and our relationship together and did her very best to make Immigration believe in us. She did such a thorough Submission letter, we weren’t even interviewed by Immigration. We thank our lucky stars every day that we had Carolina for our lawyer. She did a fantastic job. She’s the best. Muchas Gracias, Carolina for all your hard work. We really appreciate!

R. Stevanus – Malaysia

Before I met Carolina, I almost went back home to my country and lost PR application because of the mistakes from my previous Immigration Consultant. After I received refusal letter for my restoration status, I frantically googled for a lawyer in Internet and luckily I found Carolina in Threebestrated.ca which selected by her clients as one of best Immigration lawyer in Winnipeg.

I sent her an email with subject “emergency” and she quickly replied my email and made an appointment with me to see her on same day. When I met and tell her about my situation, she already had an answer and solution to my Immigration problem. Because of her, I was able to stay in Canada until my PR application was finalized.

And today, I live in Canada as permanent residency status and it is all because of Carolina. I am very satisfied with the professional service provided by Carolina and her team. For whoever that looking for Immigration lawyer, I will highly recommend Carolina Fridman and her team as your Immigration lawyer. I would definitely do the whole process again through Carolina as my Immigration lawyer and I will recommend Carolina Fridman to all my family and friends.
Thank you so much for your help Carolina. Thank you so much for giving me hope and life in Canada. I really appreciate it so much.

R. Salomon – Brandon, MB

After receiving a message from CIC saying I needed representation I frantically googled immigration lawyers and soon I had made an appointment to meet with Carolina. I was 23 with a hostess job living in a basement suite with a roommate. When I met with Carolina I did not have all the necessary paper work or finances in order to proceed with the case. She accepted me as her client and worked out a payment plan that suited my finances and helped me acquire the necessary documents to go forward with the case. She explained each part of the process clearly. What resonated with me was how she spoke to me.

My case was difficult because I did not always have all the information or documents. At times i feared she would, like some others had, say you are 23 years old how do you not know these important traveling details as you went from one country to another. As each problem arose she explained it to me suggested which option to go with and guided me through it with patience. When one approach to my case did not work she found another.

With the anxiety, fear and sleepless nights that comes with going through the immigration process, in a new country away from most things familiar I am glad to have had the efficient and gentle guidance of Carolina and her team. I am now a stable Canadian permanent resident. A married 27 year old mom of two pursuing an education in environmental sciences.

There are angels put in specific places throughout our journey, when we run out of steam it just so happens we stumble on an angel to help us keep on our journey. I believe Carolina was one placed in my life

Xu Xui – China

Carolina Fridman helped me with my refused Business Application under the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. She was effective in finding a solution to the problem, and providing advice through the whole process. My case was re-opened and my application was finally approved by the Government of Manitoba.My decision to hire Carolina as my immigration lawyer was based mainly on her words at our first meeting. She told me that her firm would only take cases that they think will be successful. Honesty is very important to me, and this made me trust her office from the beginning.

I am really satisfied with the job that Carolina and her team did and continue doing for me. They always answer questions on time, they are very clear with the instructions. With their assistance, I found my immigration process much easier.

Thank you Carolina for all your help. I will highly recommend you to any potential clients, and I would definitely go through this process again with you.

R. Kimani – Nairobi

I migrated to Canada in July 2012 but began my telephone conversations with Carolina Fridman in 2008, when I called her and requested her to represent me as a immigration Lawyer.  Carolina was so patient with me and treated me with such high professionalism that every time we spoke, I was left feeling valued and as a result encouraged me to wait for the immigration timelines.  Though long, the journey never felt lonely because Carolina held my hand and walked with me to the very end.  Every promise that was made to me was made.

Carolina went beyond her line of duty and the greatest blessing I found in Carolina is when I requested her to help me through her office to book an intake appointment with a school that I wanted my daughter to attend here in Winnipeg.  She did not hesitate and willingly got me the appointment.  This made my life easier.  Carolina was always available to receive my calls and answer any questions both on phone and email.

I have been in Canada now for 3 years but I found my permanent, professional, and well-paying job 6 months after arrival.  My children have gone to school, one is working while the other is in University.  Looking back, I know I made the right decision to contract Carolina as my Legal expert because this made my life and those of my children firmly founded.  If I were to begin the whole process today, I would only do it through Carolina Fridman.

Z. Zhiyuan – China – International Student

I applied my work permit after I graduate from the University, I should get my work permit at least 3 years like everybody else, but the CIC only gave me 11 months by no reason, and I try to called the CIC center but is just waste my time, I wait 26 mins per call on the line but the agent cannot answer none of my 7 questions, they know nothing about my case and didn’t even know what I should do, which is ridiculous. I want get my PR after work six month, but 11 months is really not enough for me.

After a week one of my friend introduce me Carolina, she told me Carolina solved her case which is the situation even worse than me, so I try to contact Carolina and decide let her to help me to get my 3 years permit back.

After 2 months wait finally I got my new permit which is 3 years long, I am so happy of it, I don’t have to worried about been kick out from Canada anymore.

She is an absolutely a great, capable, reliable lawyer, she will try her best to find every single detail to prove and help you to solve the case ,and also think multiple method in different situation which is super reliable.

This is an absolutely a true story, if any student have same experience with me, trust me Carolina can help you out.
Thank you so much Carolina!!!!!!

N Bessette – Manitoba

Carolina worked with us for a spousal sponsorship application. The case had some complicating factors and so we were concerned with the success of our application.
Carolina and her team (Natalie) sat down with us and methodically identified all the relevant information needed to put together the application. They made sure to consider anything that the immigration officials might have further questions on, based on Carolina’s experience with these types of applications, and we worked together to provide that info in the initial application, to help make the process go more quickly.
There were various stages of approval in the application process and all were successful. Throughout, Carolina explained the process, what the stages meant, and what to expect next. We attribute our successful application to the knowledge, experience, and professionalism of Carolina and her team.
We also wanted to say how we appreciated, not just the legal knowledge of Carolina and her team, but also their very friendly demeanor, they reassured us throughout the process.
Overall, we were very happy with the professional services from Carolina Fridman, and would recommend her to anyone needing assistance with their immigration matters.
