Hi Hotstepper, i sent you a mail a while ago, but you were offline. I thoroughly need your assistance and advice. I would like to embark on this venture but I, like alot of my people here, have zero-abroad-travel-experience (that is, if you take out Ghana lol!) what is the first step to take? I am about 17 weeks gone and i have not done jack about my intention. The idea just poped into my head to look at Nairaland for help..pls get across to me somehow...either via my email on Nairaland or whichever way plsssssssssss I reeeeealy need to talk with you!!! Thank you so much for your attention! Cheers P.S. its baby number 3, and i really want this to happen... |

Hi Omodun, Can you please confirm if you eventually used Dr Grace Mariapillai and if you did when was that? I called their office and was surprised they mentioned they dont take self pay international patients. Thanks for your feedback Omodun: |

Hello ; Anyone knows a good clinic in CALGARY that accepts me at my 35th week of pregnancy? I called north east women clinic, and mosaic clinic. They both said they couldnt accept as i am at a very late stage. And seems hospitals are quite a lot expensive comparing with clinics. Anyone with any information, please share your experiences and info with me. Thankss 1 Like |

It is my sincere advice that you thread with extreme caution @Deonu, watch your every step on this route, especially now that new accounts are being opened just for the purpose of reaching you instead of speaking plainly on here for your benefit and that of those coming behind you as is the tradition here, hopefully you are not been targeted for disservice. A couple of posts reaching you wrongly earlier I think got deleted by ADMIN. God be with you! 3 Likes 1 Share |

OmoBendel24: Wow! what a post. So reaching out to someone on this forum who asked questions about finding a clinic/doctor who can take her in at her current stage of pregnancy and also needing help with accommodation now constitute 'targeting @Deonu for disservice'? Na wa oo. @omobendel ndo oo and I perfectly understand why you would have such a viewpoint. If my post providing my email address and phone number because I didn't get the PM @Deonu sent to me is now misconstrued as not speaking plainly then you may as well get ADMIN to delete my post, I was only trying to help and not contravene Nairaland's advert rules. Would providing details of a doctor/clinic and also about accommodation not be deemed as advertising? FYI, I live and work in Calgary and I've lived here now for over 8 years legitimately. My hands are not idle for the devil to use as a tool. I am gainfully employed and too busy to engage in any shady business or target anyone for disservice. You only need to know me to understand what I mean. 1 Like |

thank you so much @lesluga. I got my (wife and daughter too) canadian visa in just 6 days. I'll also like to thank people that have contributed on this forum like @hotstepper, @hermosa, @virt, @Jesunifemi, @thespecialist and so on. I read through the thread from page 1 to the end and actually took down notes. i used all the information I gleaned from this thread in preparing my application and it paid off. 1. I did paper application and submitted at vfs global. I'm happy I did paper application cos in my application, I didn't put 10yrs working experience. i only put in my current work experience so vfs global asked me to correct that for me and wifey. 2. I had a valid US visa and I think it played a role in my getting TRV within a short time coupled with submitting my application at an off-peak period (the summer periods - june to august have notorious waiting times). there was actually a notice at the vfs global office that if one has a valid US visa, you no longer need to attach proof of funds). 3. I attached everything attachable even optional documents - LOE, Introduction letter from my workplace, payslips, bank statement, hotel booking, provisional airline booking, tour guide booking, travel history (photocopy of stamped passport travel pages), copy of property documents, child's school fees receipt... like someone said, you need documents that show you have sufficient funds, sufficient ties to nigeria, and a good travel history. 4. I put in Tourism under purpose of visit. I didn't include 'to give birth' cos my wife isn't pregnant yet but we plan on getting pregnant next year. when we do I intend writing the canadian embassy (like i did for my US visa) of our intent to birth in canada. I'll print their response and have it handy at the POE. I don't like embarassment. I hope this helps someone planning to apply. 8 Likes |

Re: Giving Birth In Canada by osagieworld: 12:19pm On Dec 27, 2017 |
They give up to ur passport expiry date. I was given 2 years cos my passport expires in 2 years. My wife was given 3 yrs cos her passport expires in 3 yrs. I submitted my application at vfs global in lekki, Lagos. Christine77: |

Just completed reading from page 0-57. Quite insightful and thank you to those who took out time to explain to others. God willing I should be applying for my visa end of Jan to travel by first week in June. I have seen that it has been strongly adviced to lay it out in the application if one is going for birth purpose and I intend to do that. Does any one have most recent information on the option that is quicker? Paper or Online application? Thank you. |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by hajidel: 5:22pm On Dec 31, 2017 |
Canada and US share some information mainly violent criminals, terrorists, human traffickers, INTERPOL wanteds but not mundane info like you being married to husband A or Husband B or misrepresentation from one embassy to the other. But we all out here know that a lot of people apply for visa with not so quite the 'correct' information in an effort to be successful in the application. The key is be consistent in your 'lies' as if you are not careful they will eventually catch up later on. So kokorita: KaptainAfrika: |

My wife is due around that time and i do have relatives in canada but zero contact and i have never been to canada before. So yeah that is an option that can be explored sharing accommodation. I will be going to USA end of new year month and may be i can go to canada to scout out there. Olalacious: 1 Like |

Re: Giving Birth In Canada by hamddy: 11:15am On Jan 04, 2018 |
hello the specialist, justwise, hotstepper, the other gurus and canada residents I recently heard an info from a Canadian gynae but he said that he would also ask and get back to me. He said that he heard from some of his colleagues that canada is trying to stop citizenship by birth. Can you please help check the authencity of this information. Also i am already 7 weeks pregnant. Which option is better to apply through, online or Paper route. i was denied a study permit in November but right now i am hoping to apply for visit visa as a family. Thanks. |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by ToffeeDrop: 5:59am On Jan 05, 2018 |
Hello @Hotstepper and ALL, i have been following the nairaland thread on giving birth in Canada and have read all 57 pages however noticed there has been no recent (within the last 3 months or so) post on people’s poe experiences. So i am officially asking for info from anyone who has passed through canadian poe recently for birth. Particularly those who didn't declare birth purpose. Please see my situation below I applied for a visitor visa in November with intention to travel in December with my husband (and then in March for child birth). I stated my purpose of travel in the form that we were planning on going for xmas to visit family (my sister is a canadian citizen and my brother has PR status there) I have travelled to Canada 2ce previously so i didn’t think the visa process will take longer than 1 month as it didn’t take long previous applications. The visa came after the intended December travel date so we cancelled December plan. Now I plan to travel for the birth in March at 33 weeks and want to know what people’s recent experiences have been at poe in very recent months Do you think i should mention intention of child birth in addition to family visit at poe? I plan to travel with more than enough cash On Hand as i have seen the estimates from previous posts and will be accompanied by my mom who has been in and out of canada more frequently than i have (she was there as of early Dec 2017) Would appreciate advise from the gurus |
