Hotstepper: Thank you for taking the time to reply Hotstepper. I intend to go ahead with my application regardless, I have a fit to fly and I've found 1 gyno in Mississauga who's willing to give me an appointment. my problem is that the costs at the hospital she uses is outside my budget. it is about 4500 CAD/day for baby and child. You can help me with advice on which hospitals/locations I could get better pricing. I am ready to scour the area to find a gyno/midwife that will take me unless you have a recommendation. |

Hotstepper: hello again, i've just seen this, please help me with toronto costing for doctor & hospital |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Hotstepper(f): 9:32pm On Mar 08, 2018 |
My concern iz that u have not applied for visa yet. 4500? is the hospital fee or the drs fee? shinethelight: |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by hajidel: 10:31pm On Mar 08, 2018 |
What @Hotstepper is saying is basically you being due in May which is 2.5 months away its virtually impossible to apply and receive visa in time to make the trip especially if you are applying from Nigeria. If you are applying from another country that has a shorter processing time then you can be lucky and get it in time. But mind you to apply in any country other than your country of national you would require a resident permit for that country in which you wish to apply. shinethelight: |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by shinethelight(m): 10:40pm On Mar 08, 2018 |
Hotstepper: Hotstepper: Hospital fee oh, per day. (about 3,200 for mother, 1,700 for baby , per day) DOctor's fee is 5000 for CS. I have filled the application form, just completing my document checklists before i submit, i reckon i'll be submitting tomorrow or at most by monday. I'm trying to find someone who's not too busy for my wahala to help me pickup my proof of appointment at the Gyno's place tomorrow. that would be 1 more document less than what i need. Where i need help is with expenditure when i actually reach canada, as i cant afford to pay 1,700/baby/day (i'm having twins). so i am willing to consider a new city, fingers crossed |

I learned so much from your post. Thank you for giving back. Can someone please advise if having twins will double babies daily hospital rate. dazzing: |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Hotstepper(f): 1:02am On Mar 09, 2018 |
I think it will double it cuz then 1700 will be per twin as both wont be in the same bed shinethelight: |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by dserious: 4:25am On Mar 09, 2018 |
@ Shinethelight.....I believe your faith can work for you o, nothing is impossible. I applied for my visa Nov.15th and got the message to pick up my passport in January, exactly 55days after I applied. I have read on this very thread that some people have gotten their visas processed in one month; i have also seen one week processing time on this thread. So if you have the faith, I would say go for it........... On hospital, Dr Ayodele of Brampton Civic is still taking patients at the old price of $3500cad for doctor's and $2600 for hospital. You would have to pay both fees to him immediately you register though. The doctors fees is for both Vaginal and CS. However, if you are having CS, you would need to pay for 2days hospital stay which is 2600x2=5200. Missusaga is very close to Brampton, less than an hour depending on what part of Missusaga you would be staying; not bad in my opinion. |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by dserious: 4:39am On Mar 09, 2018 |
Lest I forget, ensure to carry all your tests and scan results from Nigeria cos the time will be too short to start running tests. Also, if possible, redo a scan as close to your travel date as possible. It would save you time, stress and money cos Dr. Ayodele accepted all my medical reports from Nigeria. If you can, also do rubella and Strep B tests too cos I was sent to do them here at Lifelab for 65cad; i didn't have them from Nigeria. Google the doctor Ayodele's office number and call ahead to book an appointment while still in Nigeria. Call them with a canadian number immediately you arrive to confirm you'ld be coming in for the appointment. I had my baby about 2weeks after my first appointment with them without any hassles...just have the complete money in cash to pay at your first appointment. |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Hotstepper(f): 4:42am On Mar 09, 2018 |
Yes, I pray it works for her but my concern is that she will be having twins . If she has someone in Miss. then brampton is also a good option. I advise you submit the application asap dserious: |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by ozycy: 5:03am On Mar 09, 2018 |
shinethelight:I like your faith. Having twins means travelling even earlier. So get the application going and submit as soon as you can. I don't know if there is option for expedited appointment like in US embassy, that would have just worked. All the best |

justwise: @Justwise, kudos for the great work moderating these threads. However, i would say this insane request for PMs is partly your fault. I remember back in 2014 when you started banning people from sharing info freely on the US thread. You stated that "agents" were taking advantage and making money off nairaland. This may be true but unfortunately, hoarding of information will only encourage more PMs. Right now, when nairalanders come here for info and they dont get it, they quietly PM people with experience. The information is shared offline. Even the so-called agents contact experienced people from nairaland to get information. That same info is now sold to helpless nairalanders who desperately needs the info. This thread is not growing, naiaralanders are not getting info easily and the agents are making a lot of money off nairalanders. Your customers are now the victims. There are several of those agents everywhere now, I even saw one of them on instagram, advertising burden of proof - Phema/Nairaland proprietary document ![]() So brotherly, the summary of my long epistle is for you to allow people freely share info here on nairaland.....doctor, hospital, accomodation everything should be here. You would be amazed how many agents come on this thread...when we ask questions here and no one answers, they pm us and offer the information to us at a price... When you started this thing in 2014, the US thread slowed down for a while, it picked up because of the large number of people going to US to give birth....this your initiative will definitely stifle a small population thread like this.. Lemme go and drink water to cool down my anger jor...... ![]() 3 Likes |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by ChiNadaro: 6:29am On Mar 09, 2018 |
@Hotstepper, good day. My wife is 10 weeks pregnant and I want us to have our baby in Canada precisely Ontario. I chose Ontario because my insurance covers there. When do you advise that we begin the visa process. Do we need to state that she’s pregnant during the visa application. Should we go through the online process or paper application. Please reply. Thanks |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by justwise(m): 6:31am On Mar 09, 2018 |
dserious: This is a selfish way of looking at things, you want me to allow people to post any info here but you forgot that advertisers will not bother to place an ad here if they can easily post it here without moderation. US thread did not slow down as many of you predicted then, some of you left but still people who need info still visit, ask questions and still get answers. I know for a fact that people can share info without advertising it but the problem is that some nairalanders want to make money from this hence my strong stand on direct/indirect ad here. They refer people to some hospitals or accommodation providers for a commission or discount then they come here to sing praises of those companies so that people will pm them. I will make sure that such individual will not have a space to advertise here. Canadian route is not popular and not as straight forward as US this is why the thread is not growing like US one. People will send pm no matter what because some of the questions they ask are dodgy ones which will not be allowed here. Whoever is too lazy to read materials already here or elsewhere should fee free to send pm and get charged for it. Since 2014 we have had 5 parts of at least 4 hundred pages of US birthing thread even as many of you predicted that the thread will go down and experienced members will leave because they are not allowed to post everything including ads. Yes some old members left but the thread still stand and no free ad allowed. 1 Like |

Online application - biometrics requested 3 days later - passport requested for a week later - stamped passport returned 11 days later. My dear, I'll advice you reapply. There is no harm. If the baby decides to come before you're granted, at least you tried. 1 Like |

I understand it can happen; like the lady said miracles can and does happen. With every rule there's an exception. But going by the application processing timeline for Nigeria its a lengthy time. I hope she applies and gets it and travel out in time. Godsgoodness: |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by OmoBendel24: 11:21pm On Mar 10, 2018 |
hajidel: She should give it a try and submit as proposed by Monday tops. It's been taking an average of about two weeks since last month on both paper and online application, the highest I have seen personally took less than three weeks still in the timeframe I talked of above.

Amen God bless us all in the hustle. Yes I think I will agree with you on the turnaround as I applied for my dad not too long ago and entire process took 5 days. Hopefully she can do it fast. OmoBendel24: |
