M. John Ridden.

Having been to Cuba and the United States many times I can tell you that it is total BS. The US will not interogate you or nor forbid you from entering the country if you travel to Cuba. Because in fact they don’t know you did.

Thank you.

I will be cruising the caribbean area early in 2010 (I am English and my friend is Dutch), and we intend to visit Cuba.
Our plan after leaving Cuba is to sail to the Florida Keys. I keep hearing different things about entry into the USA by yacht from Cuba. The latest is that WE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ENTRY!!! Does anyone know if this is true or not?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

The US government knows every Canadian who travels
to cuba, including length of stay, where, how long etc.

every person travelling to canada via air is
required to fill out a Canada customs form.

The forms are eventually sent electronically to
the US government, where they are entered into a
data base which is connected to every port or point of entry into the US. If a Canadian travels to the usa, vian any route (car, air, etc)
that person is found on the data base and the
immigration official at the border crossing can take whatever action deemed necessary. So, Canadian citizens travelling to the USA, having
visited Cuba, beware. At best, you will be turned
back into canada, and told not to try and re-enter
the US for a period of time. The alternative is
interrogation, which is unpleasant. The Canadian government does a nice job of handing Canadian
private information over to the USA..so much for friendship.
