Permanent residence for canadian and child in Cuba

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.

Thank you for clarifying what you meant.

Once we get our papers approved, I'll post again with the timeline. We are moving in 2 months and will submit our paperwork right away when we arrive.

That would be interesting, thank you.

does anybody know if canadian PRs are checked through the aduana the same way as cuban citizens?
when i come to cuba(cuban) i was get pulled aside to weigh and check my luggage while my wife(canadian) is never bothered. Will this change when she becomes a PR?

First of all, a canadian PR is no different than a Brazilian PR or a Chinese PR.

Who gets pulled over and who doesn't in theory has nothing to do with your passport or ID, but depends on
a) random checks
b) how many times you have been in and out of the country
c) the length of your stay abroad (going fo a day to miami will raise eyebrows)

In practice, the more suspicious you look for bringing in products over the customs limits, the bigger the chances. Usually tourists, or those who look like them, don't work as mules, so they are less often checked.

all cubans get checked, wheather you look suspicious or not...tourists, very rare.

Not every Cuban get checked... I'd say not even half of them, I travel tens of times every year, often accompanied by Cubans, most of the times nobody gets checked.
Every tourist that looks suspicious can expect to be stopped. Try being a tourist and enter with an aircon or baggage in huge balls well covered by plastic.

i look very suspicious with only my carry on then :p

I don't think there's a yes or no to this question, it all depends on which airport you land in, who's working that day and what mood they're in. My husband gets stopped every time he does his once a year CUP trip. Any other trip he does just his 30kg and there's never an issue.

Once your wife has her PR, she is entitled to the same once a year CUP entry and she will most likely get checked during those trips, first to make sure nothing is coming in that's on the list of do not's and as well to make sure she's not over her CUP limit.
