Sorry to hear that... :(
I had sent that one before the permanent one though because I wasn't organized yet with all the paperwork. But from what I hear it would've been refused anyway. Too "high risk" where we were married.

For hubby it will be less than us. You will have to ask him to verify because we don't have access to Cuban prices or at least I don't. :eek:

Hi,

I wanted to know how long did it take for the sponsorship if you're spouse to go through. I will be getting married to a Cuban in a couple of weeks in Jamaica and I just wanted to know the process. we applied for a visa for him to go to Jamaica to spend time with my family and he got it they gave him one month but in terms of the sponsorship for him to come to Canada I would like to know the process we've been together for a while now and I've been traveling back and forth to Cuba and I wanted him to experience a place outside of Cuba. I'm a Canadian citizen.

please let me know it would be appreciated thank you.

Our file went very well. Just got called for passport request. 3 months and a few days after reception of SA approval letter. This is if you don't get an interview request.

Hi

Your time line gives me a new appreciation of how fast they can process applications. Waiting is soooo difficult. We are off to Havana on April 25 and 26th for medical. I am checking our application to make sure that the information is correct and I notice that my husband does not know when his father was born because his Father was a USA citizen and had no contact at all with him. Both his Mom and Dad are now deceased. Can we leave the birth date blank or should we put an approximate date?
