Anyone in Canada go through the process of inviting someone from Cuba? Where to start. Please assist?

Question

For vacation purposes. Many sites have different processes which makes it even more confusing. If anyone has gone through or are going through this, is writing the invitation and going to the Cuban Consulate the first step?

Answer 1

Go to Cuba as a tourist.  Enjoy the climate and the music etc... while you are there, pick and choose who you want to invite.  Apply for a travel permit for that person and with all the bureaucracy that follows and God willing you are done.  Or go to the Canadian consulate in Havana and let him/her apply for refugee status, the government will have tons of $$$ for you .

Have fun.
