I’m not in Canada but I’m looking forward to giving birth there. So I want the most affordable option available, from accommodation to birth centers.

[quote author=leksite120 post=131444737]I don't know there was a thread like this.

Well, I would like to share my little story. However, I am not sure it will apply to most people here since you will be coming from Nigeria to just solely give birth, but you can gain one or two from my experience.

My wife and I entered Canada this year as a student while my wife is on spousal open work permit.
She was 8months pregnant when we entered. You might be surprised. Firstly, the bump was not big, it looked like a 5-6months bump and we were able to maneuver the airport wahala.
Though, our intention initially was not to give birth in canada but in Nigeria. However, there was a twist.

The twist was that I was supposed to resume school by September but there was a PGWP policy which will affect me after study cos my school is listed among those the policy would affect. So, I reached out to the school and they gave me an option of resuming earlier which was May intake.

Naturally, birthing and anything medical is free for canadian residents that are working and paying taxes but we were not working then hence, we were not eligible and was treated like a visitor who is not entitled to OHIP which is the ontario health card.

When we arrived, we were on the race and pressure of birthing. We reached out to midwives, but they were all booked. People always book midwives in Canada like 5months before due date.

Note: Midwives services are free for anybody whether citizen or non-citizen or even temporary residents. Midwives are free for anyone of any status in Canada ( that shows how intentional canada is in giving free healthcare) and their services are excellent too. The only problem is that you can't access them immediately, you have to inform them like months before the due date. Infact people normally book them immediately after conception.

Initially, we planned on using my student health insurance for my wife to give birth but it didn't work out cos the conception was from outside canada.

We tried to contact several doctors to at least get a manageable fee to pay, we couldn't. We tried almost all Midwives and Doulas in Toronto.
After all search, we got hold of an organisation, they are more like charity organisation that works with some midwives and they assisted us by getting us a doctor for our antenatal and they also took care of like 90% of our hospital bills and even 2 weeks post natal. We paid just $650 for all these, it was honestly a huge relief as against the almost $10,000 we would have paid.

Our baby now has her own health card for free with no stress right from the day she was born.
But remember, this is something we would have normally been entitled to for free if we have been working and paying taxes.
And I must confess, canadian healthcare is just top notch and they treated us like a human being compared to how Nigeria healthcare treats one, its just horrible.

The only problem they have is their waiting time which doesn't really matter to me cos if there's any emergency (emergency is not until you break your leg or have accident o), you'll be attended to. To me, apart from emergency, I don't think there's any serious reason why one should be bothered about the waiting time.


Please I want to know more about the charity organisation. Also, can I get your contact please for further enquiry?🙏
