Consult with a travel agency of the many in miami, but check it to be sure that it is legitimate and not a fraud

Yes it's off to Canada.

Cuban citizens returning to Cuba; that sounds like it's up to the government there.

The US doesn't want its citizens going there.

i'm cuban too & i can tell you from experience that you don't wanna go there. nothing but facists & rapists & scarface drug dealers that pull knives on you and take your bags, passports, and money! forget about it...

I assume that you are talking about from the US. (From anywhere else, you just apply for a visa).

From the US, as mentioned, many people ignore the rules and travel illegally via third countries (Canada, Mexico). As long as you don't take back anything Cuban, you are unlikely to have a problem.

But if you want to be legal, you would have to comply with OFAC rules to be legal. You may be eligible under the family visits - if you have relatives in Cuba (see the OFAC website). Alternatively, you can travel under another form of OFAC licence (for example a church's humanitarian licence).

Everyone I know flys to Canada then flys to Cuba

First, where are you flying from? If you presently residing in the US, then you would need to obtain a travel licence from the OFAC. If you have immediate family living in Cuba, then you'll qualifty for a travel licence for visiting family.

However, if you not from the US, it's an easier procedure. Obviously you are aware that Cuba does not recognize dual citizenship. Cuban-Canadians must enter Cuba on their Cuban passport. They must also show a valid Canadian passport in order to return to Canada. Under Cuban law, the Government of Canada cannot provide consular services to Canadian nationals or to permanent residents of Canada with Cuban citizenship. Travellers born in Cuba (regardless of current citizenship) should contact a Cuban government office in Canada to ensure compliance with Cuban regulations. Failure to do so may result in being refused entry into Cuba, detention upon entry or being refused departure by Cuban immigration authorities.

The same procedure may be followed from other non-US countries.

Can't get there legally from here. You'd have to first fly to the U.K. or something. And I don't know how you go about all the entry and stuff, just that I wouldn't go back if I were you.
