I am in Toronto....however Genry has not had his DL for a yr yet in Cuba. I believe it must be a yr before our Ministry of Transportation will issue them a DL here and skip some of the steps. If anyone else has had thier husband/wife come with a licence less than a yr old I would love to hear what the steps are that they had to take ;)

However; I have heard that with thier International drivers licence they can drive here for 90 days with no issues. They now provide Cuban's with an international DL when they pass in Cuba as I beleive before it was not. Does anyone know if that licence being International needs to be translated before he can drive for the 90 days? I believe so, but just making sure.

 

@ Salsaj- Yes, I have seen and heard it being a long wait there, I have had two recent friends go through the process, one took 2 1/2 mths and the other is still waiting and it has been about 40 days so far with no word. It really is a stressful process all together. the most stressful for us has been these last few days of knowing he is picking up his visa and stressing about recieving his PVE quick enough before his medical expires. The man at the Canadian Embassy (Cuban) has been really nice and good to us though, he called me here in Canada last week to let me know that Genry could pick up his visa but was concerned about his medical expiring. He has since then spoken to Genry on two other occassions about his concern and told him to come with his passport next Wed. We have been told he can get it quickly; however as we all know....this is Cuba...anything can happen! I think this must be a new process to contact the sponsor, I don't know anyone else that got a call here in Canada. Perhaps that is a new thing as when I was going through the sponsoship pkg with a friend of mine the other night, I noticed some changes and one is how much contact information they now require from the sponsor ie- sponsor's e-mail address. I guess they figure, they know they can reach us easier, even if it means with a vm box. I would guess many Cuban's have missed thier call or do not get to thier e-mail fast enough and miss appointments frequently. Anyway, I cross my fingers that my husband gets his PRE as sson as possbile so we can book his flight, and I can breath again ;)

Thanks ;)
