Question

can people from Cuba go to Canada for vacation?

Answer 1

I assume that you are being sarcastic, no ?

Answer 2

Jc22ny has said it all and has given you excellent information...so no need to repeat it all.

I have friends that were also bringing Cuban friends for a visit to Toronto, too. It's possible and it is done.  

Answer 3

Yes They can...but they will need to apply for a Visitors Visa at the Canadian Embassy in Havana...

Embassy of Canada – Visa Office

Calle 30 No. 518 (esq. 7ma)

Ciudad de la Habana

Temporary Resident (Visitor) Visa applications should be submitted at least 21 days before the expected day of departure.

In most cases, the processing of a visa application requires between one and three weeks, sometimes more. You should submit your visitor visa application at least 21 days before your expected day of departure. If possible, submit your application 2 or 3 months before departure.

If The Cuban is visiting friends or family (i.e. a private visit), you must submit the following with your application:

A valid passport valid for at least 12 months.

Old passports bearing proof of previous travel abroad, if applicable.

Letter from employer indicating length of service, salary and period given for vacations, if applicable.

Proof of financial situation, salary receipts, deeds on properties, etc. Applicants must submit original documents and a set of copies.

If you are going to Canada to visit friends or relatives, you will need a fax or letter of invitation from Canada providing details of the purpose of the invitation. The invitation does not need to be certified at the Cuban Embassy or Consulate in Canada. The invitation must include the full name, contact details, immigration status, and signature of the person inviting you, as well as proof of his / her financial situation (Income tax notice of assessment, employment letter, bank statement, etc).

If you are under the age of 16 and travelling alone or with only one parent, you will require a notarized authorization to travel from the non-accompanying parent(s).

Photocopies of the identification cards of the immediate members of your family ( children and spouse).

Fee payment at Banco Metropolitano.

Photocopies of the birth certificates or national ID cards of you children in Cuba, whether or not they are travelling, if applicable.

There are 3 ways to pay fees for immigration and visa services:

in Cuban Convertible Pesos (CUC) at three branches of Banco Metropolitano in Havana. The bank charges the applicant a $1.00 CUC fee for this service. Two Bank receipts must be presented at the time of your application to the Visa Office at the Canadian Embassy in Havana;

in Canadian dollars in cash at the Immigration Receptionist window. Only the exact fee is accepted as the cashier cannot give change;

in Canadian dollars by a certified cheque or money order made payable to the Receiver General for Canada drawn on a bank in Canada.
