Mickey Mouse Dept: Once an impossibility, today she dreams of meeting several relatives in Florida -- and maybe even Mickey Mouse, according to CTV. The overhaul of Cuba's decades-old migratory law, announced three months ago, eliminates the much-detested exit visa known as the white card and is perhaps the most highly anticipated of a series of reforms initiated under President Raul Castro and hAVANA, Cuba -- Like many Cubans, 16-year-old Ana Liliam Garcia is excited at the thought of seeing the world beyond this Communist-run island smaller than the state of Pennsylvania.

I would like to see Disneyland in the United States. I'll be able to travel! (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
