Yes I do know what the postal system is like. But I have used DHL many times and they are slow but they phone the recipient and the package is delivered every time. I think the main reason they are slow is because of Cuban customs. And then they fly the package around the world to get to Canada.
Oh...I am so sorry. I fear the same thing - that as soon as we get back from Trinidad after doing the medicals, in August, we'll get a letter right after asking us for an interview there. Did they tell you the exact date you have to be there - or do they give you a range?
And why you fear the same thing? No, they didn´t give me a date yet until I let them know in 15 days if I will assist to the interview or not..then they will let me know all the details..
Lo que me temo es que tan pronto que mi esposo y hijo se regresan de Trinidad - dentro de 3 semanas ellos vayan para los chequeos medicales - que vamos recibir otra noticia para las entravistas. No tengo ni un kilo por otro viaje hasta Trinidad. :-(.
la leona, mi esposa y mis hijos van a viajar a trinidad para el chequeo medico, yo ire tambien (yo vivo en toronto) me seria muy util, si puedes, por ejemplo pudiste sacar un turno sin problemas??, tendran disponibilidad en agosto??, hay alguna otra via de contactar a la doctora sin que sea por telefono??, donde te puedes quedar alli ??, estuve viendo un hotelito barato cerca del aereopuerto, cuanto cuestan los examenes medicos ??, es lo mismo para los adultos que para los ninos ??, disculpa tantas preguntas, muchas gracias por adelantado y saludos
As far as I know, the only way to contact the office of Dr. Ross Miller is by telephone, and it is really hit and miss - I have called all day on a Monday and not had anyone pick up, and called early on a Monday morning and someone picks up right away. The lady who usually answers the telephone is called Rachel. The first appointment we got, for August 15, she phoned one day to CANCEL because the doc is on holidays from the beginning of August or so. We had bought plane tickets and everything - so we had to re-book. Very expensive. They don't care.
Suerte con el processo - no es nada facil. Saludos.

The office also will NOT send you any kind of email confirmation. Make sure you leave your Toronto cell number on file for them so they can call you back if they need to.
Because of the cost of changing all the flights, my son and I from Canada are not going down anymore - just my husband and son in Cuba. They are staying at an AirBnB close by. The price is not the same for adults as for children for the medical. My son is an adult and we need $500 USD. They did say that no fasting was required.
You will need photocopies of the passports for your Cuban family AND their original passports. You will need vaccination history for them and any other medical history. There is a nurse there that is Cuban, and she also helps with translation if necessary. Apparently Dr. Miller speaks Spanish as well. They also told me that everything is completed in one day.
Puedo responderte en español tambien si quiere, pero creo que es mas util para la gente en este forum si respondo en ingles.
I think she is asking for the number of the file or the UCI numbers of your family members - I can't remember which ones she asked me for - but they are able to look up in their computer system and if the number is recognized they can link your appointment(s) to that number.
