Latest chisme: They will be re-opening/opening a VAC in Havana. No TBD. A friend who lives in Playa knows one of the security guards at the Embassy who said he thinks that the government will be giving visas out of Havana. Of course...there is ZERO merit to this. Solo chisme. I hesitated even...

[ @Ferengi, it sounded like when everything (bio + medical) was submitted at the VAC, you planned for your spouse to come to Canada right after. Does submitting these docs give your spouse the right to go straight to Canada after? (like, is that the final step? is there any wait time after it...

Do you know where they do the medicals? If you have to do business at the VAC office, I'd suggest Mamelan Bed & Breakfast - Airbnb address: https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/20957996?source_impression_id=p3_1563302472_iYztHT65tzmgFOQb If the medicals are in a different area in POS, I'd suggest doing...

In your original application, you need to mail it to the Canadian office. When I started, it was Mississauga, but I know some other people have mailed it to Sydney. If the instructions say Sydney, you mail it to Sydney. Once you mail it to CIC, they send it to Mexico for processing. Only after...

Yes...he stayed in POS and in the end, flew from POS to Toronto. They would not let him on the plane without a return ticket to Havana, so although I had bought him an exit ticket, according to the rules, he needed a return ticket to Havana. And yes...I could have mailed the passport from...

Ok guys! We have done it! My husband is here post closing the visa office in Havana!! I will write how we did it. I had to learn things the hard way (costly way). 1. There was no way a passport would be going into Cuban mail. Not an option. 2. After thinking about me flying down and getting...

I was told by MP's office that my file was first transferred to Canada and then to Mexico...but no email saying my file has been transferred to Mexico. I agree with you stephtigger....the MPs are told things by IRCC, but they don't know enough to question IRCC. There is a lot of misinformation...

Just an FYI mecuban1982, I have emailed them three times since May with all the info (UCI, Application #, name, DOB etc) and there has been no response. Including all the pertinent information does not necessarily mean you will hear something back. It's a bummer.

I'm pretty sure that people have received visitor visas post May 8.

Osmel....was your file in Havana and is in transit to Mexico? Or did it go from Canada to Mexico? Thanks!

We also have no news where our file is.

Did you receive a message before saying that your file was in Havana? Or did it go from Canada to Mexico?

My MP called IRCC yesterday and they said that visas will be sent to Havana...stay tuned to the telenovela.

My husband called the Embassy in Havana. He was told that no one can drop off their passports for visas. There are only 3-4 staff members working and only dealing with Canadians. They do not have any business with Cuban passports. The lady also told him that because Mexico is the processing...

Yes...we received it in April

We haven't received the "please send passport" message yet. We have received the Pre-Arrival Services email or the Welcome to Canada email in which we can sign up for government programs. An officer even called my husband to request information about his employment experience. I am assuming...

Does anyone know if you can request a pick up place for a visa? For example, right now, they are saying, please send your passport to Mexico or come to Mexico to pick up the visa. Can request that the visa pick up be in Trinidad and Tobago?

My husband sent me our wedding certificate using DHL. It took over a month. Mine was also stuck in transition. Anyone know how easy it is for a Cuban to get a visa to Mexico? :( I wonder if they would give it out easily if they are coming to pick up a visa for Canada.

So, they have changed their minds about handing out passports in Havana. Great. It would be great if we could go get their passports and then get the visa here. Good luck to us all...

I wrote the Mexican embassy last week and haven't heard anything yet. I know one person has received a response. Anyone else?
