WORKING DAYS? I thought those were regular calendar days! All the same, those are estimated average days it took to process applications lately. Not really hard and fast as it were.

Use paper application. If u use online, forget canada

Hello hotstepper and everyone on this forum. Great job sharing relevant information y'all. I came across this page through Google while searching for Canadian birth and I've spent about a week going through pages 1-31

God bless you @Hotstepper.

Now to my immediate question: Can I apply for a Canadian visa from the UK on a visit visa?

I'm asking this because I intend to go spend a month or two there and feel that by the time I return there would not be enough time for Canadian visa process. I'm 18 weeks already (4 months). Look forward to your replies.

hello am wale am new on this forum, I want to ask a que, is it done or possible for Canada visas to be processed in Canada, I mean sending d passport to Canada, is it done is it possible? thanks for

hello forumites, I am new here, I want to ask is it possible to process Canada visa from Canada not involving Nigerian Canada embassy, is it possible? thanks

Hi all again, I've heard that we need a Canadian citizen to guarantee the baby in order to give him the passport!! is this true? if yes, how can we find someone to do so?

jinyeid:


Hi,

it was online and I had an inv. letter from my brother there and it came out around 3 weeks and for 4 years (my passport's expiry date) and Multiple entry

Anything else I can mention?

Hi Jinyeid.... Congrats. I didn't quickly see your response. Please i want to ask, when you got the approval email and deposited your passport with VFS, how long did it take before it was returned with the stamped visa by the CIC?

To apply for the birth certificate and baby's Canadian passport do you need to go in person with baby or u can apply online? Prompt response will be appreciated! Thanks

Yes you can but to be sure, work to canadian consulate and ask or call them

Thanks for your prompt response! From Calgary where is the closest city to get baby's passport? When you say picking up, can one opt for it to be posted rather than going in person again to pick it up?

Hi thanksss,, it took 3/4 working days and they called me to receive it all the best

Hello Hotstepper,

Thanks for the link provided. I have read the article and I must say that am bit afraid for those of us who are still in the process of submitting our applications for the purpose of birthing our babies in Canada.

Please, what do you suggest. Based on what I have read, there is no embargo yet in place. But I intent to submit my application by month end. So scared in case the law changes!

U have nothing to worry about. Even if they decide which I doubt, it won't just come into effect immediately

Hello beautiful mamas, been a ghost follower but my q now based on this recent inf is do we now apply base on birthing or tourism .? I'm still planning on submitting before end of d month. I'm 12weeks gone and if granted visa would love to leave by December Gods willing, would that be better in other to escape Poe wahala.

Hello House please i need some clarification!

1. Is it the birth certificate or baby passport that the Dad will need to sign to give consent & acknowledge he is the dad?

2. The dad is currently in Nigeria, can he write and email a scan copy??

Your prompt response will be appreciated. Thanks

Victoria2016:


Thanks, I'll do that right away. I thought online was faster o.

Its getting frustrating just waiting.

Just to let you know. My relation who applied for a visitor visa online on 26 April 2016 received an original passport request today 17 August 2016. Processing time was 113 days. I guess you can use that as a measure to know when your passport request might be sent. It might even be sooner. Just be optimistic.

Lmao... that one grey hair would have grown. Na wa.

If u read through the pages, u would Ave seen that ur questions has ren answered . But since I am n a good mood, will write it again.

NB: I am not going to write things twice on this thread again. If I am taking my time to write and answer questions then I expect ppl to go through the thread and read as well before asking questions.

Since ur husband is in naija, u will go in-person to the Canada passport office. They will give u a file no and tell u to ask ur husband to go to canada consulate office with a govt ID. he will need to sign sumthing and the embassy will fax it to the passport office in Canada. They will probably ask u the consult office that's close to u.

Once he has signed, it will be faxed and ur baby's passport will then be processed . Make sure once ur hubby said he has signed , wait 2 days and call the passport office to make sure they have recieved the signed document. Also, if u r using a Canadian citizen as a guarantor for the passport application, the passport office will call the person to ask questions. If the perosn doesn't answer correctly, passport will be denied .

Good luck
