Anyone has any suggestions or comments to help me out ? by futurecubanwife
Hi! My name is Michelle. I just joined today. My future husband and I (I am a US citizen living in the US, he is a Cuban citizen living in Cuba) are trying to meet soon. If we both feel the same way we do about each other after a month together, ...
Hi Michelle, I read your post and hope this finds you well and your Cuban 'family' also, I am a Canadian and married to a Cubana and we have a daughter and we have a house near Habana. Yes, your situation is not an easy one. Perhaps you ... Read More
Getting married in Cuba by Armand
Hi all, We invite all the ones who got married in Cuba or who are about to get married in Cuba to participate in this thread :) What are the formalities to get married in Cuba? Is it the same for a couple of foreigners of for a mixed couple ...
My experience, based on others' info, is that the Cuban government has no exit visa in place and if a Cuban wants to leave, as long as it's apparent that the reason is legitimate as in your case, no problem. The government just does not want ... Read More

Hi Sherrie, I am trying to understand why you would want to get married in Cuba. Neither of you as I understand are Cuban. I married a Cuban and that is different. Do you have a specific reason for going that route? You can email me at ... Read More
Buying property in Cuba by Christine
Hi, can a foreigner buy property in Cuba? If so, is it complicated? What is the process of purchasing a property in Cuba? Any tips for buying property, such as a check-list of items to verify ? Thanks in advance for ...
There really are very few certainties in life... they are death and taxes! Other than those, all is a gamble whether in Canada or Cuba or any place. Read More

MANDATORY TRAVEL MEDICAL INSURANCE by mick_luna
I've been told that you have to have travel medical insurance to enter Cuba, although it sounds like enforcement isn't universal (some people aren't asked about it, maybe younger people? Others are forced to buy Cuban insurance in the ...
I do likewise! Never a problem! Read More
Canadian visa denied..... by Majito
Just got the news, sad news. My Cuban girlfriend had her Canadian visa denied yesterday, after all formalities (Passport, invitation, documents, delayed mail delivery, fees). And she is a specialaized nurse and owns her house! It was only for a ...
That's good Ricardo. Only concerned about how to go about getting Canadian dollars banked in Ecuador/ transferred from here. There is no reciprocal agreement between Canada and Ecuador and Scotia Bank is not there. Do you have any knowledge on ... Read More

Thanks James for your very level-headed comment. My Cuban wife and I are in a similar position as you are. What bothers me is that I (and, by extension, she) have been led down the garden path simply by the government (Canada immigration) taking ... Read More

Try to speak to someone at the Cuban consulate. My case is different because we are married so I do not need a special visa to live in our house. A casa particular's rates for an extended period of time can be negotiated. Why not try that ... Read More

Unfortunately, that is not only true with out-of-country (e,g, Canada-Cuban marriages) but can, and does, also hold true in domestic marriages. Problem here is understanding and realizing where people are coming from in their choice of favourite ... Read More

Very sorry to hear that. I can very much appreciate your upset and can commiserate as we have been married now for over 4 and a half years and knew each other a half year before the marriage AND we have a baby! Quite simply, CBSA people involved ... Read More
