A ATIO translator named Victor did mine. He also notarized them for me. He does everything by email and mails you hard copies as well so you don't even have to go to him. He is in Oakville, and his fees were not dirt cheap but they were okay. Victors email is go@solospanish.com. I also use...

Aww that sounds awful, and super unproffessional on CIC part :(

Lol Thank you MrsHubby! It's only 3:22 PM and I want to celebrate with a cerveza right now!

Lol thanks justagirl that is really considerate, because I actually would have been losing my mind. :):) Good luck to everyone still waiting!!

My husband had his interview this morning at 8:30 AM in Havana, Cuba. They didn't ask him a single question, only for his passport and his criminal records clearance. After a few hours of waiting they returned the application package we submitted to him. They asked him to return to the...

UPDATE: My husband returned to the embassy today and received his visa. Two hours after the interview. He arrives in Toronto at 1:00 PM on Friday God Willing.

Hey y'all!!! He was in the waiting room for four hours. He called me at 12:30 PM and this is what he explained about the process: A number of applicants were in the waiting room at 8:30 this morning just like him. An officer came out and handed each of them a nylon package to put their...

Thank you!! I slept nothing last night and now the time is finally here!! :D:D Any last minute advice for him?! My only advice was not to be dramatic but to be calm and practical, and of course honest.

Hi! MrsHubby I am NOT going. My husband is on his way to Havana now and the interview is tomorrow morning. I decided not to go because I would rather take the time off work when he arrives so I can show him around Toronto. Having said that, I wish I could be there because I will be a nervous...

MrsHubby are you saying sometimes at the conclusion of the interview they hand the visa? I heard that you usually have to return about a week later to get it... That would be great!!

UPDATE::: The Havana VO just replied to me and told me that the certificate I have already is valid for 1 year, not 6 months, even though printed on the certificate it clearly says 6 months. No problem, that just makes it easier for me, even though he already got the new one. I finally feel...

I heard the same thing but my husband paid the normal 5 pesos cuban for his most recent one so not sure if that is infact correct...? I don't know how he pulled it off but he actually probably bribed SOMEONE because he ordered it yesterday and he has it today, he even emailed me a photo of it...

I think your best bet is to just make sure that your husband always has an up to date one on hand, that is still within its 6 month validity so that when they do call for an interview he is ready. Mine went today to try and get his expedited with no luck. He actually has not rescheduled his...

Thank you Mrs Hubby!! He had to call them today and push the interview back 2 weeks so he can have his criminal record certificate ready in time.... we are waiting for them to email us and tell us when the interview will be reschedule for. too bad he couldn't have been prepared! Thanks for...

what is PPR?

I know and even with $$ it's still not that fast he he he...he's going tomorrow morning and they will tell him exactly how fast they can do it, and of course he will try the gift route. I will let you know the outcome. But he did speak with the embassy about maybe not having the certificate in...

Thank you justagirrl! The only catch is that his criminal record is expired, and he has to apply for a new one. The fastest we have ever gotten it was in 14 days...he has exactly 7 days until he has to be in Havana. What do we do?!? He lives super far, in Holguin, 700 km from Havana...

He did, and it expired because in Cuba they are only valid for 6 months. Now he has to submit another one.

My husband just got a call saying he has his interview at the Canadian Embassy in havana on October 1, 2014 at 8:30 AM
