Permanent residence for canadian and child in Cuba

Gres, nobody can pass a status onto anyone else, status has to be applied for. Yorgos said this was the process in 2015, much has changed, that is not the process as of right now.

When I say you can pass your PR to any first degree relative, I meant that those kind of relatives are eligible to apply. Obviously they have to apply, how else could it be?

For our son, he has to reside in Cuba until his application is processed, most likely because his is a citizenship whereas I can apply for my PR and then come and go as I please until my application is processed

That's exactly what I said. That a foreigner does not need to remain in the country while waiting for his PR; it takes so long anyway (nowadays... back in the time we used to get them in 45 days) that it would be illegal, as foreigners cannot reside for that long.

These days, it takes 2-3 months to get the application processed. Not a problem if you are a Canadian and want to wait white you are in Cuba.

We already have a house in Havana, yorgos. Looking for a bigger house. Will wait till we are in Cuba to buy it.

Between you and me.... You are invited to my niece's cuinse on Jan 2.... Looks like it will be in Cardenas. The next time we are in Cuba. Always wanted to meet you... Been many years.

In private.

I don't think this was ever the case..

Gres I know of SIX foreigners currently who have been waiting for their applications to be processed. None of them have any reply yet and their times range from 4 to 11 months... It has gotten really really slow given the sheer numbers of applications since PR have been allowed to buy property in Cuba, which is no wonder given how lucrative it is today to buy a house, fix it and rent it.

Jan 2 will probably be busy, extremely high season but I'd love to meet you and the family and if I'm lucky i may be working in Varadero on that date, so may be able to escape and bring some feta cheese and Greek olive oil or something even cheezier, lol.

I speak of personal experience. I was given the chance to pass my status to parents and sisters if I wanted to since they changed immigration laws in 2013. Not sure if they've changed them again since, but yes this was absolutely possible and very fast (less than 30 days).

Yorgos....i am speaking about applications for PR that were done in Cuba and not through a Cuban embassy abroad... Not people i know, personally. Processing took less than 3 months. This year.

You are always welcomed, especially if you are bringing goodies....jeje

We will take this offline, the closer we get to Jan 2.

Yes, i know, could not have picked a more busy time but it is not my niece's fault...lol

I was at the hospital, in Matanzas, the day she was born. Everybody thought i was the father.... Lol...Had complete access to the hospital, and the natal care section. She was premature, about 4 lbs. Didn't seem to hold her back. First in her class on every subject and a star athlete. Very proud of her.

Everyone I know applied in Cuba and still no response. I am shocked by the experience of your acqauitances!

Ya, i am confused also. Conflicting information.

Always wanted to meet you... Been many years.

Man, you guys have known each other for a long time!
