Cuba with RTD

[Kikk]

I visited Cuba 3 months ago. I was able to board to the plane using just my RTD in Toronto. At Juan Gualberto Gomez International Airport passport control, the officer asked for my Canadian PR after taking my RTD. I don't know if you need visa without PR

Did you come back to Canada without problems?

Hello

thanks for sharing your experience. We are planning to go to Cuba next month without Pr. And with Sunwing.I think you mentioned document to fill in plane. Thats name is Cuba tourist card ( visa ). But i didnt understand that why employees in Toronto Pearson Airport made a problem? What was the problem for them? Do you advice me to tell anything about if they also block us in Airport?
by the way hopefully you had a great vacation there.

Hi did you have any problems?

If you want to go to Cuba without any problems go with air transat, and when returning to Canada if Cuba agent ask you if you are PR in Canada, just say you are protected person. Because if you say you are a pr and don't have your card they might be some complications returning to Canada, even if you depart from Canada say you are a protected person and bring all those documents with you in case. I went to Cuba last may8 th and returned May 19th 2023 , they asked me those questions.

Actually i chose to go with Sunwing because their offer was more cheaper. And we dont have Pr yet. For depart checking they didn’t realize about Rtd and they asked one of their supervisors and she did it in 2 mins. And then i didnt have any problem entering Cuba. They care just visa which is provided in plane. And when your returning to Canada they take you to immigration agent from line. Because Rtd doesnt work on self machine. Anyway Agent says welcome to home. And didnt ask me anything. So everything was good. Some people believe that Westjet or Air Canada is more easy in check in because they are government companies so they know Rtd. Hopefully you will have a great holiday there. Try to have 1 usd bills. Because everybody is tipping everwhere with 1 usd and you make them happy . And dont forget to get city tour in Havana. Enjoy.

Well , air Canada is expensive but other airlines if you just said you are a protected person if the agent don't know about RTD she or he will ask the supervisors. RTD you can exist and reenter Canada without visa but if you travel without pr , better say you are protected person cause technically you are a protected person in Canada .

You will not be refused entry back to Canada even if you travel without PR but you do have RTD. It is strongly recommended to travel with your PR if you have one.
