abisoyed: There are only 2 hospitals for delivery in Winnipeg: st Boniface and Health sciences. St Boniface costs 4634 and 2361 for mother and baby respectively PER DAY, thats approximately 7k CAD. Health sciences is slightly more expensive, abt 4,900 for mum, cnt rem for baby... and it is per day as well i think. The ob gyn practise near d hosp costs 1k cad delivery fee.100dol first visit n 50dol subsequent visits... Budget 200 for tests. Pead consultation post delivery cost 35dol.

Thanks all for bringing this thread back to life, i appreciate y'all. Wify went for preg test on oct 20 and it was confirmed, she was earlier issue a 2yrs US visa on sept.04 2017. We later applied for canadian TRV on sept.22, still waiting fir the outcome. I'd like the experinced experts to tell us how they were able to get into canada with their pregnancy showing, were there issues with migration and border control officers regarding purpose of visit. |

Re: Giving Birth In Canada by lesluga: 2:14pm On Nov 15, 2017 |
hello @ osagieworld no i didn't because they didn't ask for it, mind u i applied through visitation probably yours is through tourism hence the request for the airline ticket. i would also advise u to use the paper application cause it seems faster and you can be easily corrected at the point of submission if there are any errors and also the online application will most likely ask you to provide documents that you might not have , osagieworld: |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by OmoBendel24: 2:29pm On Nov 15, 2017 |
lesluga: Hearing these for the first time. Provisional airline ticket booking I thought was mandatory and have had that attached to my family members' application even though we got invited by our siblings.... Strange |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by lesluga: 7:17pm On Nov 15, 2017 |
@ omobendel this is a quote from my earlier post and this were the documents i submitted. "I applied for a visitor visa as a family ( wife n kid) and i didnt mention the fact that we were considering child birth. I submitted very credible supporting docs ( statements of accts, salary slips, introduction latter from my company stating my net worth, fix deposit certificates, passed traveling history and letter of invitation from my brother who is a PR)" OmoBendel24: |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Olalacious: 8:31am On Nov 16, 2017 |
Hello my people, LONG POST ALERT!!! Weldone and thanks to everyone keeping this thread alive I don dey read this thread for the past two weeks (from page 1 oh), in fact the page is permanently opened on my browser and i just keep reading in my spare time plus taking a lot of screenshots for future reference ![]() ![]() Like someone said, this thread should be a taking and also giving back thread (Not only taking without sharing your experience), I will start sharing my experience as it goes and will keep on updating as I progress on this journey. In 2015 I applied for US tourist visa and got a 2year entry. At POE in US told CBP i was also going to have my baby in the US along with the vacation. Baby came, all bills paid got zero balance from doctor and hospital. Fast forward to 2017, myself and hubby wanted to renew the visa, VO said why didnt we declare in the first interview that we wanted to have baby in the US. Told the VO that the initial VO who interviewed us did not ask any question on that and the plan was only to visit. He would have any of our story. Long story short, he denied us the visa. Then I decided to try the Canada route. Read this forum like crazy to understand how to go about the application especially when you have been denied a US visa. After a lot of reading and digesting, myself and hubby summoned courage to apply for the TR visa. Plan was that we would travel for a visit in December as a tourist and then use that opportunity to see if we could scout for a doc/Gynae/settle accommodation plans etc and then next year when baby is due will travel for child birth. We submitted the application (via Paper route) went to VFS to submit all the requested supporting docs. This was on 22nd Oct. Exactly 10 calendar days after submitting the application, hubby got a call from the Canada embassy. Basically he was asked for the reason why we were refused a US visa. He then clearly explained to the Canadian VO that we were not no sufficient ties back home. He also mentioned that we had our baby there as well but all the bills were paid in full. Apparently the Canadian embassy had also called the US embassy people to find out why we were not given the visa but they did not give any convincing answer to the Canadian embassy hence the reason the Canadian embassy called us to find out further. Also during the convo, the Canadian VO then asked my husband if I was currently pregnant. My husband said yes and that we plan to also have the baby there next year but the reason for the initial visit was for tourism. The Canadian VO was like it is not illegal or a crime to go to Canada to give birth. If you have sufficient fund to cover it, you would most likely be given. They even called my husband’s company HR manager to confirm if salary certificate which we provided was correct (no be small thing). Long story short, he told us to send receipts of our medical bills in the US as well as the refusal document which was received from US embassy. We sent all the details to him and even put the US hospital and doctor’s contact info to call them if they have any doubts. Exactly one week after sending all the details, we received a mail from the Canadian embassy to come and drop our passports. Got our passports back today. Mine stamped Multiple entry till 2021 hubby till 2019 as passport expires in 2019. My peace of mind is that I have clearly declared to the VO that I would be giving birth so I no get fear for POE issues. In my opinion, Canada Embassy processes your VISA in a fairer manner than US. They take time to review your documents properly and then make a decision based on that. But US ehn, its like before you even show up at the embassy, they have already made a decision without checking your docs.. Now unto the next stage of preparation, Accommodation /OB GYN/Hospital to use. As I no get family for Canada, Ontario will be my best bet as I can see from people’s review on this thread that it seems to be a relatively less expensive to birth there. I will start contacting the hospitals and docs now. @Hotstepper, please help a sister out. How can you assist with accommodation options available and which city do you recommend I stay in (Brampton or Toronto)? Which is easier to move around in? Do you have anyone I can contact in arranging accommodation for a 2 month period. Also I have contacts of Dr Ayodele and Dr Abou of Brampton hospital and I have the Dr Grace contact of humber river. I just need to understand if I should call the doctor first or the hospital first or do I have to first get a Family Doctor who will then refer me to the hospital/Doctor. As I don’t have family doctor, please help if you can refer me to someone. Thanks a lot and look forward to your feedback. Any other preggy mama bound for Ontario around April/May 2018 who doesn’t mind sharing accommodation? I need to plan this waka well in advance. Thanks a lot to everyone and wishing every mama out there a safe one!!! 19 Likes 2 Shares |
