Havana, Cuba

[laleona]

Just got the medical requests - 6 months to the day we submitted - with absolutely NO communication about our file since I received the SA on Jan. 23rd. In March our file was in Mississauga - and may be there still. Just thought this might help anyone else who has been waiting.

 

[Sandrad]

Yes. My husband also got the medical request at exactly 6 months into the process. We are may 2018 applicant. Praying for some good news soon.

just wondering if anyone has heard anything lately? We are in our 9th month and its been quiet since beginning of December... anyone from april or may get their Visa yet?

 

[Sandrad]

I am at 13 days until it will be a year. Have not heard anything yet. It’s so close but feels so far. I am hoping soon.

 

[Sandrad]

We are may 2018 applicant.

Hi there, I'm new to this thread. I'm hoping you guys can help me out - my Cuban fiance has been offered employment in Canada and the application is ready to be submitted. Do we need to make an appointment with the Embassy in Havana to drop off the application and give biometrics, or is this a walk in process? I can't seem to find this on the website.
If anyone has any experience or heard of successful work visas being issued, please let me know how long the process took. Many thanks!

Hi friends!

Is anyone able to kindly confirm how much the medical exam costs in Havana? We keep trying to call, but no one ever picks up the phone... we're anticipating getting requests in the next two weeks or so... trying to figure out how much in funds will be required to send over.

Thanks in advance!

It’s 405$ cuc. That is for the medical. You need to have other things to take along for medical. Two photos. Travel expenses to get to Havana.

Thank you so much for responding! Another 2 photos in addition to the two that were already submitted with the application?

Hello..yes, the 2 photos that Sandrad tells you are in addition to the ones previously sent with the application. Also, the medical test is for 2 days and the person who is going to have the medical has to go there without having breakfast and make sure the payment is made at least 2 days before the medical appointment, it's Cuba and we never what it could happen. I suggest you to make the payment at the Metroplitan Bank located in Boyeros 100 to avoid any disagreement. Good Luck...
