going thru usa (florida) would be the lowest $$$ and it is easy to get the usa visa but do we want to give a passport with a canadian permanent resident visa into the hands of USA embassy ? NOOOOOOOOO how about thru Havana, Cuba ? (Cubana flies to Canada)

thanks :) looks like they are clearing out the permanent resident apps, so they can switch over to process "tourist" visas in a coming "high" seasons of Spring & Summer we just need to find now the least expensive airfare, and without an USA visa, only AC and TACA/LACSA left

we got a phone call this morning that PP w/visa is ready for pick up so it is already in our hand......just a few days less of 11 months of waiting they also returned some of the submitted copies of documents, pictures, etc... the OIM office in Bogota quoted around $700 for a one-way ticket for...

My further investigation revealed that, IOM or OIM is a UN Organization, with head office in Geneva, Switzerland here is their website: http://www.iom.int/cms/en/sites/iom/home.html the Colombian office also have their own webpage: http://www.oim.org.co/ I consider them legit, the real...

congratulations to ccunnington, finally your long wait is almost over did they told you how long your visa will be valid ? what is the expiry date ? thanks

I know, it can not be longer, when either the medical or passport expire, whichever date comes sooner. However, I thought, they will not give it longer than 60-90 days, even if more time remains on the medical or passport.

currently only -7 / -12 in Calgary---you better stay with your wife as long as you can in a warm Sincelejo (just kidding, I know it is very "toasty" there) on a more serious note: ......do you know how long expiry date the PR visa usually have : 60 days ? ......have you heard, that anybody...

I think, I have fund the answer for my previous question: How long is a permanent resident visa valid? A permanent resident visa is issued for a period not exceeding the earliest expiry date of the following documents: the medical results for you and your family members or your or...

we decided to use Servientrega, they have about 15-20 locations all over in Bogota however, the biggest unknown is, whether the Visa Office would issue the visa, when the 1 year term for the medicals expires before the visa would expire ? (60 days)

thanks our medicals will expire in the middle of March if they issue a visa in the usual 2-3 weeks time, it will be very tight to make it to the entry point

well done ccunnington we received a passport request email today too what is the best way to get the passport to the embassy ? regular mail ? registered mail ? courier ? personally ? other ?

yes, anybody travelling to Bogota better make some ARRANGEMENTS......to pay a ransom to kidnappers ! Here is their latest method: Most kidnappings are for ransom and foreigners are potential targets. Assaults and robberies have occurred after thieves have exposed travellers to incapacitating...

yes, KJG is a very busy lady on this forum, and has lots of free time: 2767 posts posting on many forums, including Havana-Cuba, Kingston-Jamaica, etc... I just do not see how relevant her specific experience with the Havana office to the visa office in Bogota, especially when she is comparing...
