quote author=Angie32 post=84770037]Guys Approval Alert!!!!!!! I wanted to get my passport in hand before I give my testimony!
Okay so I applied to honeymoon with my husband who is a permanent resident. Before I applied, I read numerous stories of how people who applied to visit their spouses get rejected due to the visa officer perceiving they would not return.. so many cases like that and I was shaken but I prayed to God and asked him to go before me as it was not my intention to remain there...I braced up and applied anyway. BVL came after passport request and I was surprised lol ... this just goes to say the procedure is not set in stone as anything can happen before anything.. please see timeline below

uchetobi:


Thanks dear. You are right. Wasn’t planning to go with my kids hence I dint even think of that.

My circumstances has changed via residency in another country and I will be able to enter Canada freely next year which was why I was considering withdrawing my application but left it since I dint expect them to deny me

Please has anyone gotten a response recently?

Happy for you. Thank God for swiftness and smothness and thank you too for sharing.


quote author=Dsquare2017 post=84429406]Long Post Alert!!
Sorry I’ve been so busy that I have not had time or strength to type up the rest of the journey. Our baby was born about 3 weeks ago. Thanks to Almighty God for the successful delivery. So here’s the rest of the story:
First, update on the lab test at doctor’s office is 55CAD extra for a vaginal swab test for which I got the invoice about a week after birth of our baby. So that brings the total lab test cost to 178CAD
Labor, Hospital, and Delivery:
So my wife got an early labor and baby on a Friday at 37 weeks 2 days. Went to hospital the next day morning only to be turned back in the afternoon because dilation was still 1cm. However, we were charged 650CAD for that visit by the hospital. Later that night labor got worse and we returned to hospital at about 10pm. My wife’s dilation was checked to be almost 3cm and they told us to wait until it’s 3cm. However we were advised to wait and be admitted to the labor room at 12am so we won’t have to pay for 2 nights (This was because, the baby has to be in the hospital for 24 complete hours before being discharged as Ontario law requires.) So were finally admitted 11:30pm on a Saturday and baby was born @ 5:17am on Sunday morning. (I was scared they’d charge us for the 30 minutes before 12am, but when I spoke to them in accounts the following Monday morning, they were understanding, and we only paid for one night.) We were discharged on Monday morning since the 24hrs ended at 5:17am on Monday morning. We used an Epidural which cost us 1,100CAD and it covers as many epidurals as required until birth (it’s non-negotiable as the doctor did not reduce it even when we tried to negotiate. However, I heard the cost of the epidural differ from anesthesiologist to anesthesiologist and could be anywhere from 500CAD to 1200CAD depending on whoever’s on duty)
Hospital bill for one night was 3505CAD(which we had paid earlier) and that included mother and baby, lab tests, drugs, food (for mother and baby if the mother cannot breastfeed), diapers, maternity pads, disposable panties for mother, and accommodation for support person (a collapsible chair in the labor room as well as the mother and baby room).
First pediatric visit was 3 days after birth. We were given a list of Humber river pediatricians and we used the one closest to us. The guy charged 300CAD for first visit and said subsequent visit is 200CAD. After first visit we were supposed to return a week later. However, for some reason we were not comfortable with the price. So we researched about other pediatricians not connected with Humber river hospital. We found Kidscrew children clinic. We were charged 80 dollars for Pediatric visit at Kidscrew. We regretted going to the first guy anyway. But at least thank God the joy of delivery was greater than the regret of spending.
Birth Certificate, Ticket, and Passports Application
Birth certificate was applied for online through service Ontario. Cost 25CAD and was approved the next day. Received it at my address through Canada post 1 week after approval.
Baby ticket was 216CAD with Lufthansa airline. Bassinet seat cost extra 77CAD. Both were obtained over the phone with airline desk and new ticket was sent to my email. (Note that flight ticket with baby’s name showing on it is required to get and urgent or express passport)
Canadian passport was applied for after baby got her passport photograph (20CAD for 4 copies). I wanted to go with the no guarantor option which requires filling a form that shows information about you within the last five years including addresses, and jobs. Then 2 referees which can be reached by the phone numbers you provide. Also, the form must be signed at a notary public office which would cost 78CAD since he will be serving as your guarantor. (Notary public office is less than a minute walk from the downtown passport office I went to. However, I had no need to use the notary public office anymore because I was able to contact a friend whom I thought was not even in the country. Fortunately, she had returned, and she signed as guarantor for me. Passport application and express delivery cost 107CAD. They said I did not qualify for urgent service since I’m not travelling within 2 weeks. So I was given express service and told to come the next 2 business days. Went there and got my baby’s passport
Instead of applying for a Nigerian emergency travel certificate, we decided to apply for a Nigerian passport since we had time and we figured it will be more difficult to get the baby a passport in Nigeria(they don’t even have passport booklet) The Nigerian passport office was in Ottawa. But application has to be made online and payment has to be done online as well (77USD). Printed out all the required documents and got on our way to Ottawa as baby has to be present in person at Ottawa for photograph. Left Toronto on a Monday afternoon, got to Ottawa on a Monday evening and went to passport office on Tuesday morning. (Note that after filling the application online already, appointment was given to come to the Ottawa office 10 days later, however, we went there the next day following the advice I was given when I called the office to come whenever it’s convenient for me). Got to the office on Tuesday morning and submitted the application documents. Got the passport in the afternoon and got on our way back to Toronto the next day.
So all we do now is sit and wait for our flight to return home and hopefully we should not encounter any challenges all through. The God who has started this has brought it to completion. We are just nothing but grateful.

Pls ignore, i just read ur message again.


quote author=Franeby post=84344707]The 7500 u paid, is it just hospital or hospital and doctor fees

[/quote]

from my experience, ill say fill ur forms and do ur application yourself.. reading through this thread, i wish i came here earlier and did my application my self cos i have many evidences that wasnt attached to my application but im still very hopeful. i dont think anyone will do it better than urself.

Agents come in handy for things like hospital, doctor, accomodation depending on what you are travelling for. Like in my case when i was asked to pay my hospital bills upfront, hospitals were not forthcoming as i was sending mails and calling from naija but my agent used their contact in Canada to get me a hospital, went there and made payment.

if u have someone in canada to this all for u, den u might not need them but i really think u should fill ur forms urself and prepare ur documentation.

Awani007:



@ty01 @jj17cv @ozzz pls I’ll need ur candid advice on my last post pls

The 7500 u paid, is it just hospital or hospital and doctor fees

Semisolasola:
Hospital but a friend of mine paid both

Thank u very much for your response. ill do just that.

Semisolasola:
I don’t think this should pose a problem however I think
You should send a mail to the embassy addressing this.

Did u pay Doctors fee or just hospitals deoosit?

Semisolasola:
Yes I paid 7500 to a hospital as deposit:.it makes more sense to me this way than the whole doc correspondence..deal directly with a hospital with a well detailed quotes not just getting doctors phone Num ,time and date

Hi, i replied with an email as the mail said

okoji:


Hello Franeby, did you reply the mail with your proof of payment from a canadian health authority or did you upload it on the portal?

Thank you so much for this response.. Im very grateful.

ty01:

Your visa was not denied; it would have been classified under either of these two:
1. ‘not approved because it was incomplete’ or
2. ‘cancelled’

The agent should have explained your peculiar situation in the form or via a cover note. You can still contact them and explain your situation as your case does not necessarily involve sending additional supporting documents. Alternatively, do nothing as I do not think this omission would count against you.

Hello everyone, pls i have a question.. so my agent filled my application(which i now know i should have done myself). I joined Nairaland not too long ago.

Heres my dilenma. I asked her recently to forward me d soft copy of the application so i can go through it and then i observed where they asked if uve ever been denied a visa or entry into any country before, she filled no. but in my case in 2008/9, i applied for a student visa to the US. upon my interview, d consular asked me to go get some documentation i didnt have at the time from my school and reapply but i never went back to the embassy because by the time, i got the info, my life had progressed here in Nigeria so i was no longer intrested.

I applied for my Canadian visa, August 7th, got a mail October 30th asking me to make formal payment arrangement with a canadian health authority and revert, which i have done and waiting for their reply.

Realising this error in my application- pls what do u advise i do? i will really appreciate your response..

Thank you.

I paid for health insurance in case of emergency outside birthing ....
Today, I received this mail and I honestly don't understand..



This refers to your application for a Canadian temporary resident visa.



In order to continue with the processing of your application:



· You are required to provide proof from a competent Canadian Health Authority that formal arrangements have been made to provide payment for health services related to the birth. A letter from a family doctor will not suffice, we are requesting official documents certified by a Regional Health Authority and hospital administration that formal payment arrangements have been made.



This information should be received by email before November 16, 2019.



Failure to do so may result in a refusal of your application.

Hello, i got same mail as u on same date. pls how can we connect so we can put heads together as to what to do

Hello all, im new here. please i got same mail on desame date. pls how can i contact u. im also confused as to what to do

Lankesolanke:
Send me a mail
So I can send the hospital name to you .some of them require a down payment.paying ahead increases once chances of getting the visa tho..
