Does this mean three months from the time it was done or from the time it is received in Ottawa?
Usually 3 months from the time it is received in Ottawa.

You need to wait to get the request to have the medical done from CIC as they send you a form that must be taken to to the Panel Doctor and to make the appointment in Havana. Without the request form you cannot even make an appointment.

Yes, I am fully aware of this, but I would like to see if anyone here had the contact info for the panel physician in order to have all the info beforehand.

The hospital is in Boyeros 53-7-647-1178. 537 643 5600 ext 5690 I suggest that you check the CIC web site as well and search panel doctor for Cuba as info may change .

Thank you, I will check. Sorry if I sounded rude, just like to double check in case the information has changed/is outdated (especially after lots of bureaucratic experiences in Cuba!).

Yes that is correct
Oh really :(
Why would it take two months for them to send it to Ottawa?? So frustrating to have to wait 5 months for a medical clearence when he has no issues .
The Cuban processing time is 13 months so anything before that is a gift. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to who gets through in a few months and who waits longer In our case it has been 3 years as of July 11 plus Good luck

The end is in sight as we received the visa pick up email Sent to my husband a few minutes ago he is getting ready to go to Havana for Monday morning to pick it up. I am looking for a flight to PEI now . Our nightmare is nearly over Good Luck to all and if I can help ask . That appeal took 8 months to get the visa . We will celebrate our 4 th wedding anniversary in Canada.

What doesn't break us makes us stronger !!!

The email was sent Aug 10 at 11.38 pm. And I opened it Friday am and took me all day to find out if it was really a visa pick up lol No updates on Saturdays unless the email is stuck in the system Cuba has terrible internet so I figure that is why I got in my inbox at 11.38 at night.
