Thank you for asking the question here . You dont have to come with your wife. When the baby is born, she will go to canada passport office in person to apply for baby's passport. Since you wont be present, she will be given a file no and you will be asked to go to Canada consult officeeither in lagos or abj. There, u will have something to sign just for them to make sure you are the father of the baby. You will have to go with an ID, preferably international passport. Once signed, the form will be faxed bk to the Passport office in toronto nd babys passport wikk be issused. Note, ur wife has to call them bk to make sure the signed form is bk to them. I know alot of people who has done this including me when i had my first child . Your sis inlaw can help. There is nothing much for her to do anywayz other than maybe help her sister to book an appointment and give her the apointment details, drs name, no and addy . Since u say shes in Toro to, dr Grace is the best option. If her sister lives off campus then theres nothing wrong in staying with her . Better u apply asap Good luck Danielakonic: 1 Like 1 Share |

Hotstepper: Now am happy that there's progress now. Aside Dr Grace, For her sister to get appointment details, will she just walk into any hospital around her to book appointment? And if we're to use Dr Grace, what's next is the step to take? Am so happy for your explanatory response.. It's well understood. Thank you very much 1 Like |

Drs information is not impirtant now since u have no visa yet unless u want to say in ur applicstion that u rconing for birth purposes . Ur sis in law will google gynea in toronto esp thebones that have offices close to her and book an apointment when thrme time comes . Drs have offices outside of the hospital, thats how it is here Danielakonic: 1 Like 1 Share |

Hotstepper: Ok Ma'am.. Coming for birth process is medical visa right? And if we don't state that she's going for birth process is just the visit short term visa and might change mind once there? Now if we don't come out clear now that she coming for birth process, won't X-ray be required at medicals ? cos I read it here that it affects pregnancy. Simply asking what kind of visa is best for her situation (Early Second Trimester). More so, I just read great reviews about Dr Grace Y. Liu, am sure she's the one we're talking about here. God bless |

Hi Unknown, Was your application paper based/ online? Your timelines are similar to mine. On the US Visa + Birthing page here on nairaland, one is strictly advised to say you are travelling for birthing purposes. I and my wife went to the US Embassy with almost 4million+ bank statement and very very secure jobs with assets, confidently said we were going to deliver and we were rejected without the VO even asking to see our supporting documents. On this Canada birthing page, i have noticed virtually all the successful people didn't mention birthing at any point. My word of advice since the deed is done.... you would have to risk being turned back at CBP like others seem to have done here. BUT PLEASE CARRY A LOT OF CASH, it might just sway the CBP officers, i have not had the experience before, i am just sharing the knowledge gained from reading these Canadian pages several times and reading at least 150-200 pages in the US section unknown2410: 2 Likes |

Hi Hotstepper, I was just speaking to someone and they said you require a guarantee from a Canadian citizen to apply for the child's birth certificate and Passport. Please is that true? Hotstepper: |

Re: Giving Birth In Canada by gogochocolate: 7:55am On Jul 07, 2016 |
Madam hotstepper. Thanks for the lovely work. My wife recently put to birth and has to travel to Nigeria wirh the baby in 3 weeks time. Please what document would-be easy to get from the Nigerian embassy in ottawa quickly to allow the baby travel to Nigeria due to time contraint. Should she get apply for an emergency travel certificate or Nigerian visa or get a Nigerian passport outrightly for the baby. Please I am a PR based in Halifax Nova Scotia and would not have time off work to make the trip to Ottawa for the passport or can the passport be issued without the baby being physically present at the embassy. |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Hotstepper(f): 12:43pm On Jul 07, 2016 |
Congratations. I alwqys advise travel document and baby will get passport in Nigeria. U can google nigeria consulate ottawa and get to their website and see what is required. I dont trust the site anywqh with experience i had with my son. gogochocolate: |

FYI, to whom it may concern, A petition that seeks to end “birth tourism” has gotten enough signatures to get introduced in the House of Commons —which could mean changes to the Citizenship Act............. Pray make Liberals no agree. 2 Likes |

^^^ Chinese guys really exploited this medium and abused it a lot. Same thing they are doing in the US; almost all Chinese nationals want ABC (or what I will call CBC). |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by gogochocolate: 8:14pm On Jul 08, 2016 |
Hotstepper: Hotstepper. I have opted for the emergency travel certificate for my child as I understand it is much faster to get for my baby. However, I have tried reaching the Nigerian Embassy visa section for two straight days and believe me those guys are not picking their calls. The calls are just routed to voice mail without anyone picking it.I was even thinking the Canadian attitude and life style would have changed them but they keep proving me wrong. Please I would PM you for the guys number that has direct access to the embassy so that I can process it. Fly ticket to Nigeria has already been booked. Thanks again for all the work. |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Demobanjo(m): 10:28pm On Jul 08, 2016 |
Congrats! I find that applying for a passport does not have to take very long too. The emergency travel doc is faster. I suggest you go for the two if you can. |

Hotstepper: Hi Hotstepper, I have no relatives in Canada and I want to bring my baby back home after 2 weeks old. I plan to send her back to canada after 18 years old for university. Is that okay? Can u pls explain about the administration process of birth certificate using a notary public in Toronto? Thanks. |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Hotstepper(f): 11:55am On Jul 09, 2016 |
You made the right choice. I dont know whats wrong with thebppl there . I think they even close at 1:30 while other embassies close at 4:30 lol. If i tell u my experience with my son in 2011 ehh. Went to ottawa by road in the decembwr winter . Each time i go they tell me i am missing sumthing yet it is not on their website they first told me i should chexk and do my application and payment nd bring it with documents and come. I alwqys leave around 4 am by raod with a child not up to 3 months old and rebooked flight up to 2 tines. The 3rd time i went there, told them my fligjt is in 2 days and i am not going to book it again cuz its money i am spending and time. God just brought one woman like that and helped me ooo. That was how i got the passport on thr 3rd day. Whike in uni. I knoew friends who sent their passport for renewal in june cuz they wanted to go home in for xmas and never got it and no letter. After calling countlews times before getting someone, they were told that their passport in is Naija cuz they dont have the machine here to do it . Nothing works oooo. Na so i just made friend there ooo. The person will charge u but it will be way easier, cheaper and faster if u were to go there in person. gogochocolate: |
