Question Canadian Embassy

Is it correct that the only Canadian Embassy on the island is in Haiti?

The Canadian Embassy which processes visas is located in Haiti. There is, however, an Embassy in Santo Domingo, which accepts visa applications, and forwards it to Haiti for processing. View link here:

Thanks for the link - very informative. One more question - if you have to go for an interview (visitors visa only) would you have to go to Port au Prince or is this done in Santo Domingo?

Definitely in Santo Domingo, not Haiti. I believe interviews are held on Mondays and Thursdays, the same days that applications are accepted. My husband's cousin has to go on May 18 for her Canadian work visa. I believe she has been accepted, but no one will know for sure until the 18th.

All interviews for any type of visa, including Permanent Residence, are held in Santo Domingo.

As a follow-up to this post, my husband's cousin went to the Embassy on May 18, where she was sent to the clinic for blood tests. I believe they are going to grant her the visa, if they've sent her for tests! Excellent news...

All visitors visa's are processed in 2-3 weeks. When you submit the visa and paperwork, if you have all the proper paperwork you will have you nay or yea at the next appointment, which they will book you for at your first appointment. We have 2 of my wife's relatives, teenage girls coming for a visit this summer. The process was relatively easy.
