Marriage certificate if married
Birth certificate of children even if they aren't travelling with you.
Letter from employer/ evidence of employment if self employed. (Also for spouse regardless of if they are applying or not)
ID card
Bank statements
Letter of invitation / hotel booking
Flight itinerary
Land deeds, house deeds, investment evidence to show strong ties to the the country.
Also, if you have recently paid school fees for your kids put photocopies etc

I recent came across new info to print out one's US travel history( Esp for those that go to the US frequently). Print from i94 website.
Photocopy previous visa pages uk, us, schengen, SA, China etc

The last one I didn't do but a family friend did sha. He did a bank draft of 2500$, made a photocopy of it and added it to the application ( guess it was to show he had money for the trip but I think bank statement should suffice).
Good luck all (this info na em agent dey collect 1500$ for o)

D place is as empty as a talkin drum. Hahahahaha. But they r working

Please is health care and education free for a Canadian?

ozzy2:


ok. tank you. pls one more question. since children under 18 don't need biometric any need of bringing dem to the visa center?

Phema:


Healthcare is free. Education is free up to High school. You have to pay through college.

I stand corrected though.

Nita2013:
Yes but as citizen u pay college fee for citizens which is nothing compared to what international students pay.

Nita2013:
U can just take them if u wish otherwise they can stay back home

Glad to see that the ministry is marching on

@hotstepper!
Yet to get my trv tho but just wanna have concrete plans on ground.
Do you have any idea of maternity accommodation in Canada....Ontario as I'm considering not staying with my host based on ideas I've gotten on USA birth and some insults that comes with it. So I may eventually come to Ontario but accommodation is yet to be convincing

dittobaby:


Also, are there appartment hotels or extended stays? Which are the affordable ones please?

bbaby84:



Most likely one would have Google these things. Most people I know who've gone to give birth in Canada usually stay with Family/ friends. Unless @Hotstepper is will to help but it will be restricted to Toronto/Ontario.

giving Birth In Canada by Hotstepper(f): 9:08pm On Jun 21
Welcome ! I have sent u an email

catalano:
Hello,
Hotstepper. Am actually in north york, but i need to speak with you. My email is samuu1125@gmail.com.

I want to use this medium to appreciate HOTSTEPPER for the assistance she rendered while in Canada to give birth.
she is such a transparent individual. On getting to Toronto I only Called her once she anwered twice.
Getting the birth cerificate, Canadian Passport for the baby and Traveling document from Ottawa.
Even when my fellow sister and brothers over there were trying to confuse me; her word(hotstepper)sounded more valuable and useful.
we came back to Naija Last week.
My baby is a month today.
The effort is a good one , better health care and value for human life/live.
My take on giving birth in Canada:
* Have a reasonable amount of money cos naija money has no value (16,000CAD)
I went with 8,000CAD but it burnts very fast cos most of the time am on CAB/TAXI
i had to send additional xxxxx amount.
The hospital bed was 2,500/day *3= 7,500cad since CS.
misc=3, 500cad.
* Listen to Hotstepper's advice( ur family friend may not be informd )
* Prayer is very important.
*Get a good accomondation before leaving Naija(do not rely on Family friends)
* Activate ur dollar accounts.( atimes naija ATM does not work) go with cash or get
a good Nigerian that want to exchange naira.

HOTSTEPPER THANK U!

Congrats on your LO and safe trip back home.

What did you mean by misc?
How much was the Dr's fees? Pediatrician? Lab work? Which hospital did you use? How did you sort out accommodation and how much was it? How far gone were you when you traveled and how was your point of entry experience?

A little more detail will be appreciated.

True that.

That free healthcare is a very huge edge Canada (also UK) has over US.
