Hello Rolorolo,

My doctor did. So all the tests that i did which were recent he didn't make me do again. I really can't recall them all but those I remember are - PCV, FBC, Blood Sugar, HIV, he wanted some vaginal tests which i hadn't done so i had to do it, very recent scan of the baby. Just get a medical report containing all those if possible a day before you travel. All the best.

And malaria test too. That is VERY important to them.

Hi Keishsunshine,

Congrats on the arrival of your new born.

Just to clarify, does Canada accept medical reports from Nigeria? Please what are the recommended test a pregnant woman is supposed to do? Will appreciate if you can assist please. I will be flying in December.

Hello Everyone,

My post is loooooong overdue but i'll still post 'cos this might help someone.
I had my baby in Canada in May. Got into Canada, late April and left June 3rd when my baby was 2 weeks plus.

Here's how it worked from scratch.

I got onto this page and some others I can't recall now sometime in January and read all I could over and over again.
Noticed a lot of people were talking to someone called 'Hotstepper' so I sent her a message to ask for guidance.
She gave me more than enough information and hand held me through the entire process.
Hubby and I applied for the visa in early February ( i was already VISIBLY pregnant).
The wait to get the visa was so scary cos I was running against time. Hotstepper kept praying with me o! (and yes, it took prayers).
Anyway visa came out third week in April and i was already 37 weeks then. So it was a rat race. Hotstepper and her entire family started to look for accommodation and everything i needed for me as she was my only contact in Toronto at the time. She had also warned me that some pregnant ladies were getting turned back at the port of entry so we kept praying and she was hoping with me too.
Hubby and I got in. Hubby was asked questions and i said nothing. I don't know if the guy saw my belle or not but I know God was at work sha cos we were allowed in.

Total hospital bills came to about 6000cad, cos i took epidural, that cost 1000cad.
Stay per day in the hospital 2500cad.
Doctor's fees were 1500cad.
Baby's fees including tests and all were about 1000cad

I got all my baby's documents in a week.
Didn't need to get a Nigerian passport for the baby, just got a document to allow him travel but even this document wasn't requested at any point in time while we were travelling. Just to be safe though, have it handy.

TIPS
It's best to run as many tests as you can here in Nigeria up to the very day before you travel so you can have up to date information for the doctor. I had to run some other tests cos I didn't have them all.

Ask the doctor why you have to do whatever tests he recommends and if they are necessary at all. Sometimes, they are just nice to do for the doctor, but everything will cost you some money.

It's best to have loads of cash handy. None of our cards worked in any of the ATMs there. We were able to pay for stuff via POS but even that didn't always work. Now, you actually need a dollar master card to make your life easy so just get that.

You can't rent a vehicle without a credit card. If you want to do a lot of running around and you prefer having a vehicle you need this. Taxis can be naughty...as in every other country. The bus is a great option, but you don't want to be carrying your newborn about in a place where he can be exposed to germs and all.

In getting a guarantor for your baby's Canadian passport, make sure that they know enough about you to pass a telephone interview. They actually call the guarantor to be sure they know you well. If they aren't satisfied, they'll deny your request for a Canadian passport and ask you to re-apply.

My baby DID NOT GET A HEALTH CARD, so I had to pay for every thing that was done for him. Every single thing. Maybe that was a law that changed but just have that at the back of your mind. And plan for it. Maybe it's only applicable to Toronto but...there!

If you are a new mum, this isn't compulsory but i'll advise you to stay till you've done your 6 week check up and be sure you're fine before coming back home.

There! I'll do my best to answer all questions.

Thanks to Hotstepper and her family, 'specially her sis and mum for just being angels.
Did i say i had never met her before that trip? Bless her heart.

Thanks a million. I have submitted my documents yesterday.
Keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks to everyone for the advice and guidance.

It's not a factor that determines the successful outcome of a visa. Each application is treated on its own merit. Your purpose of visit and accommodation must be genuine.

If your statement of account is healthy without money logdement, your work documents intact and marriage certificate and picture included, your chances are high.

You can also list the documents you're submitting for review.

Tax clearance certificate or a tax card are meant for business owners. In your own case; you're an employee of a reputable firm judging by your net salary per month. Your pay slip showing your monthly tax deduction which is remittable to the Government by your company is sufficient.

Best wishes.

Thanks a lot. How about my chances not travelling with my husband?

Aibisoye0:
Your payslips shoeing tax deductions is sufficient

Thanks a lot.

Hello All,

Fantastic thread and solid counsel from everyone.
Here's my case and I need some guidance please.

I'm a first time applicant, married Dec 2014 and going on holiday to a family friend's who is a permanent resident but without my husband. I have included all necessary documents including an introductory letter from my employer. My net income per month is 390k. However, I am worried because I do not have a tax clearance certificate, although it is stated very clearly in my payslip that tax is deducted from my salary monthly. I head the HR unit in my organization, so doing a letter from the HR unit stating that I pay my taxes doesn't seem like a good plan to me. Unfortunately, I'm going to the embassy first thing tomorrow morning and I only just started hearing this tax thing today. I'll appreciate if you can guide me. Please also share what you think of my chances. I'm not a first time traveller although I haven't been to either the US or the UK before.

Eagerly anticipating your response. Thanks again.
