For some days now, I have noticed my stool to be with watery blood. Please nairalanders help me with advise..

Please go to a teaching hospital and speak with a gastroenterologist as quickly as possible; also insist on a colonoscopy test (this is very very important). Don't go to a regular hospital except they have consultant gastroenterologist there.

Please don't think of this as simple hemorrhoids or dysentery; treat it as very very urgent.

A close relative had the blood in stool issue and kept treating for hemorrhoids not knowing that it was colon cancer.

I pray that you don't have the same issue but appeal to you to go to the nearest teaching hospital or a specialist centre with gastroenterologist for thorough checkup and treatment

Dlemy:
I have read all the post, the question is
1. What are the Immigration programs for families currently?

2. How do I apply please?

3. What are the steps or processes?

One year leave when you haven't even worked for 2months? Which company gives you that?

Hi Justwise,

It is not the company that pays for maternity leave. It is the government that pays (as long as you meet the minimum requirements in terms of the number of hours worked prior to starting maternity leave) and monthly payment is capped at 55% of pre-maternity leave salary or maximum of $573 (per week before tax) - PS: NOT everyone gets the maximum amount, as it is subject to your pre-maternity leave salary level. It is one of the reasons some Canadians don't want to have lots of babies as it is seen as reduced income for the one year period.

This information is on the government website www.canada.ca

It might look like a lot of money, but childcare is costly; creche costs about $1200-$2000 per month (depending on location) for a 12month-18month baby, so it's best to save for post-maternity period except you have a family member that will help you with childcare when you resume at work; and you still have to pay for accommodation and general expenses. The child also gets benefits from the government ranging from $100-$650 per month depending on parents income level and location.

These might look like a lot of free benefits but remember Canadians are taxed heavily and the expenses are also in dollars; that said, I wont discourage anyone from immigrating to Canada, some people relocate and get fantastic jobs immediately while some struggle to find their footing for a few years before getting settled.

Advise for new immigrants - be open-minded and watch the company you keep, try to make friends with positive minded people who would show you the right way and give you information on how to navigate the job market. Don't get discouraged if the beginning is a bit rough; whatever job you get, work hard and don't 'settle'. Don't get involved in illegitimate businesses; avoid people that are not interested in continuous improvement. A lot of Nigerians are thriving in their careers, earning top-range salaries and managing very profitable businesses. LinkedIn is a great tool, package yourself and NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK; please do not restrict yourself to the NIGERIAN community.

Canada is a lovely place, and the leaders are interested in serving their community. Taxes are high however we can't complain too much as the government is transparent (google ATIP Canada) about the costs of governance, and we can check how our taxes are being allocated for infrastructure, healthcare, education etc.

Please pardon all typo's

Above all, commit everything to GOD, and HE will direct your path!

Please if you are bleeding from your anus, don't take it lightly. Go to the nearest teaching hospital and make sure you see a gastroenterologist, who would examine you and recommend tests before prescribing drugs or recommending the course of treatment.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY

I lost a family member to Colon Cancer, and the symptoms started with bloody stools, and the person commenced treatment for hemorrhoids, not knowing it was something a lot more serious.

It could be hemorrhoids but it is a specialized doctor, that can determine if it is nothing serious.

Best of luck.

desag:
Dear House,

A friend called me yesterday that i should come . on getting she told me she was stooling and contain blood.

Thanks for support.

Please let the person get assessment from a qualified doctor, if possible a gastroenterologist (specialist); it could be something simple that can be easily resolved, and it could be an early symptom of colon cancer - which I pray is not the case.

A qualified doctor might run some tests e.g. colonoscopy, please do not take this lightly and act fast.

Best of luck

Thank you for this selfless update Dsquare2017.
May GOD grant your wife safe delivery.Amen
It was an interesting read, and GOD pass all these village (Lufthansa) people.
I shared my experience on this thread several years ago, although on a different moniker.
You are on the right track, I just want to share my point of view about getting a Social Insurance Number for your child/children - if they are not fully resident in Canada. I feel it exposes them to the risk of Identity theft, as there are unscrupulous elements who are tracking idle S.I.N & looking for avenues to collect government benefits using other people's details; and this is the easy aspect, identify theft can be very serious. You can always apply for the Social Insurance Number whenever you or your children decide to reside in Canada - at least that is what I did.
Also appeal to the hospital staff to check you out within 24hrs - if possible, as you a cash-paying patient.
Best regards!

Thanks a lot and noted. Please do you know if if I can carry groundnuts in a bottle to Calgary?

Yes, just make sure that it is in a plastic bottle e.g. Eva water bottle and not a glass bottle e.g. Old wine bottle.

You can even put it in your carry-on luggage to eat during your transit stop.

People of God, I am back to give back.
So our sweet angel arrived gloriously in 9ja on Saturday, and the excitement is much more than a visa approval could bring. ]

Congratulations OakPearl, may GOD bless the baby!

kafcakes:
Hi, good day, I've been a silent reader,,Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far, kindly advice on the route to take..

If money is not a problem...use the visa once before coming to have your baby. It could just be for a few days, it might make POE easier for you when you come to give birth as you have 'record' of entry and exit.

Lots of airlines will have deals/sales soon...Oct 1st, Canada day sales, Black Friday etc...just look for an affordable deal.

Best of luck and please share your experience when you give birth in Canada!

Rape is no joke and I am glad that you are getting stronger.

No one deserves to be raped.

May GOD grant you complete healing in JESUS NAME.AMEN

we moved to a new area. I was just eleven years and five months old. ............ please protect your children with every thing.

I have just one response to your question.

Your son is a US Citizen and does not require a Visa to travel to Canada. There's no need to add him to your Visa application, as he is an evidence of strong family ties to Nigeria for the purpose of your visa application

Lol12:
Hello House,

2) My Son is a US citizen, Is it necessary to include him in my application as person I'm traveling with? (I will be going with just him)

Kindly advise. thanks

There's dignity in labour, as long as you are not involved in any illegal activity.

You are on the right path by seeking authentic information on this thread; have you done some research about unskilled workers migration or checked if you meet the requirements for forklift drivers? There's another thread for express entry although for skilled workers, try asking more questions there, you might get someone with the answers you require.

Best regards

Thanks for your response but like I said, I'm no professional! In fact, nothing to hide, I'm a driver so I believe d federal skill work isn't it for me. All I see there is doctors, engineers, nurses, accountants, teachers, programmers, etc.

Plus, Proof of Fund is another hindrance in the academic route u mentioned.

Thanks all d same.

You can't land a good job without a social insurance number in Canada; and you can't get a social insurance number as a tourist. If you don't want to suffer, don't try the illegal route, either migrate through permanent residency or as a student.

Be patient and migrate properly!

centoqoh:
Hello everyone, pls permit my question.

Can I land a job (any kind) with a 4yr tourist/visit multiple entry visa?

The agent I'm discussing with said this is possible so I want to find out from gurus on ground already.

I'm a graduate of Mass Communication but I'm not a professional -have not been working with my certificate.

I've also posted this question on the Federal Skill Worker thread (before someone will say "this is not the right place to ask this question."

Hi Drpak,

Just want to state that your wife should be able to do her Xray with the use of a shield, so it doesn't delay her SOWP. There are several high-end hospitals that have the shield including the ones recommended by CIC in Ikoyi, Lagos... (can't remember the exact name...something Consultants)

I can't respond to your question about not misinterpreting intent, but if you decide to go ahead with the tourism route, I would advise that you add a strong and convincing LOE stating why you want your wife to be with you during childbirth and why she can't do an xray, and how you have the capacity to pay for her medical expenses (using the guidelines stated in this thread) plus the fact that she will return to Nigeria after her maternity leave is over, pending the completion of her other application.

Above all...commit it all to GOD and pray that HIS will be done!

Drpak:
Hello people, I will need some advice here please.
I am a Canadian resident. I live in Ontario. I got married this year January in Nigeria, and I later applied for my wife’s spousal work permit to come and join me here canada. She has been called for medicals, but her X-ray wasn’t done because she’s pregnant. Her SOWP application is still active and pending. I want to apply for a tourism visa for her so as to give birth in canada. I would like to know the processes, and also will this visa not misinterpret her intent as regards to her SOWP application. Thanks

Congratulations Gingalady,

Have a safe trip.

Samsung works with most telephone service providers.
I could not take advantage of a very good deal on Freedom mobile because of my phone. Huawei and Infinix might work with some networks but Samsung works with virtually all the networks.
Not sure about Nokia

Folafikemi:
Kindly help me make this decision good people.

I want to know what kind of phone I can buy from Nigeria that can support Canada network.

Am thinking of Samsung or Nokia. Pls help

If you are using MTN, go to a service centre and request for 'keep my number'. It costs N1,200 for a 3-year cycle. I don't have the details for other service networks. Your MTN Sim will work here but bear in mind that roaming charges are horrendous. You are also charged about N50 if you receive text messages, but you can always recharge your phone using online banking platforms or even short USSD Codes depending on your Nigerian Financial Institution.

ready4glory:
Good morning great people. I'm having some concerns about my phone numbers. I really don't want them recycled to some other people, so how can I keep them active even after landing in Canada?

Whatever you decide to do, do NOT use any fabricated documents especially BANK documents, you can get banned for 10years for misrepresentation.

Get someone to transfer money to your account and consider getting a gift deed from the person, just incase you need to add it to your application.

DO NOT FALSIFY ANY DOCUMENTS, it's better if your trip is delayed than if you are barred for 10years, and delay is not denial afterall your husband is a citizen and its easier for him to file for you.

Best regards

cannyC:
Please I am currently 5weeks pregnant and want to give birth in Canada.

My husband is a Canadian citizen and instead of PR applications, is considering putting in visiting first before PR, to ensure am there before delivery (since PR applications take up to a year to go through).

Note that my husband will be sponsoring the visit and hence has his account details, insurance and the rest ready. Is his account details enough to compensate mine?

A friend is recommending i use fabricated bank details, I am currently too scared to consider it, as I do not know it's implications and wouldn't want any dent on my reputation/history with them

Then you have to pay for their (3) tickets; but yes,
no need for extra adults!

drcynthia:
hmmmm....what if they are above 2 years? No need for extra adults

@Layoco please ask your question here, as I can't remember the login details of my Nairaland password.

Thank you

Just saw that Hotstepper responded to your request.

Bless you Ma'am @Hotstepper!

Hotstepper:
his family friend canmot do that cuz he or she doesnt knoe u. U will have to find a lawyer or a notry public to do that for u

Hi OmoPeace4Luv,

My guarantor is unwilling to guarantee a person that's not familiar to her. Please pardon me. On the flip side,
maybe you can ask your landlord or a notary public to assist.

Warm regards.

omopeace4luv:
it's the contact for the Guarantor you talked about I want please

Please apply for the long form and short form; and use the premium online service
https://www.orgforms.gov.on.ca/eForms/scr_ServiceStandards.do#section3

Please do NOT apply for SIN or CCB if you are a visitor; just stick to statement of live birth and registration for birth certificate.

P.S: use the documents that the hospital gave you when you were discharged in completing the form.

For my evidence of expedite, I took a copy of my return ticket to ServiceOntario and explained that I needed to register his birth, apply for a passport and return to my home country urgently to attend to personal issues. Just be confident and don't panic



Best of luck

FamilyforE4:

Please, I’m confused how to go about this birth certificate. They gave me this site at the hospital
Www.serviceOntario.ca/newborn,I saw that the amount and time of processing is different from the one I’m seen here. Please what is long and short form? I called the office, I was told that if I want them to expendit it. That I have to write and give reasons and proof.
Please:@https://www.nairaland.com/hotstepper, I need your help. Thanks.

Hi, do you mean the 4-in-one birth registration process?

FamilyforE4:
Please as anyone done certified copy of birth Registration before, did you apply together with the birth certificate and how long it took you got it?

Congratulations manlikegb,

Thank you for sharing your experience on the thread...may GOD bless your new born.

@Hotstepper...i doubt you remember me but I haven't forgotten your assistance in 2016 when I had issues with getting my baby's birth certificate. May GOD bless you abundantly.Amen

manlikegb:

I wish y’all a successful visa application and birthing experience as well.
