First my moniker have never changed over my years in nairaland. My I'd remains greggng . Secondly I only hear that people cross from USA to Canada. But what I didn't have info to was how they do it? But now that I 've someone who is a friendly that 've passed through that process sucessfuly it becomes something of interest to me. I hardly come on travel section but I thought the person wanted to know how he can cross successfully from USA to Canada . That's why I reacted. If I am the one that created that moniker to ask that question, May I and my generation die in accidents but if I am not the person may same fate befall who's ever that accuses me of such. And so shall it be

@affordablerent, it is surprising that you are unaware that Canada has a much better health care system than the states. It is public information and is even used as a joke between both countries. Having experienced health care from the states under a private system that I paid for and same care in Canada under the public system, I can say that both as a patient as well as a health worker, Canada is wayyy superior.
@geebaby10, the 183 days residency requirement for health care insurance is actually for all provinces and not just Alberta.
You can PM me, to be honest 6 months goes by quickly and before you know it, you'll head home. If your sis would be willing to stay with you for a bit that would be nice. Your family in the states could also come visit for a short while.

If I ask who be this dumb person, them go call me rude. So may I walk on by.

QSola:


Abeg nothing wrong with that question

Canadianfly:


I presume you quoted the wrong person because my statement wasn't responding to any question. Go back and read.

i believe this person is saying there is nothing wrong in asking who the dumb person is.

geebaby10:


Okay. I get you a tiny bit. But the rights and benefits of Canadians and Americans in other countries are no so different. Ease of migration is almost the same for both passports. But I agree healthcare isn't 100% in Canada but you can afford it. In America that you have the healthcare, the costs can run you (even as a citizen) dry plus the healthcare system in Canada will improve. America has a higher unemployment rate for college graduates and how about the violence in America? Black people are prominent in America because there are a lot of them. For every successful black person in America there a 100 living in poverty. So let's take the whole picture.

But it is as if you didn't read my epistle. My child is part of a family and not a stand alone human being. So decisions should be made for the whole family including future children to come. In this case I cannot live in the US with my child and if anything goes wrong next year I risk loosing my PR in the long run. So in this my situation is the US passport really better?

QSola:


I meant nothing is wrong with the statement you wanted to make

aworldcitizen:
Dear All, please can one move to Quebec after initially landing in Toronto. Thank k you.

It's called flagpoling. You can Google it.

Or you can also apply to your nearest IRCC office by calling IRCC’s Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100 in order to book an appointment. Please note that you must call this number from inside Canada. Appointments can take months to arrange.

Once you have landed and established PR, you can settle anywhere as long as you are not a PNP.

It seems Oga is right on this. The opportunities in US are much more than in Canada, I'm yet to see a black person in Canada reach the same heights in politics as those in US have. Quality of life in US varies from state to state, we need to consider each of the states as a country to look at things with a clearer picture. As a US citizen, your child will have more rights and opportunities in other countries if he or she decides to explore or migrate elsewhere because Americans are well known for their cunning diplomacy. They make things somehow easy for their citizens living in other countries, not just America. The good thing about Canada is free healthcare but sincerely, will you compare the healthcare system of both countries? I'm yet to hear of anyone travelling to Canada for medicals except to give birth for passport purpose. Doctors are few compared to patients and waiting period to see doctors can be long. Some Canadians even travel to America for their medicals.

greggng:



My brother I am known for giving free info but my recent experience has shown that what people receive freely , they sometimes don't cherish. I swear in the name of God that created you and I that I will never dabble into giving wrong info. I earlier told you I 've a name to protect. Some notable people on nairaland 've seen me physically . My friend won't deceive me. To this end three people reading this should volunteer to visit me to verify my claim for free. I can't post all that I discuss with him here. I don't hide under internet to perpetrate evil.mind you the info I 've is only for those already in USA but trying to cross successfully to Canada.

Canadianfly:


Let me answer you as much as I can.



Now for number 5, here is my advice. Choose a province that is relatively cheap to live in. Alberta, Manitoba and Sask. Say you choose Manitoba, and land in Winnipeg, book an Airbnb close to St. Boniface hospital or Women's center for like $1000 CAD per month depending on amenities, bedroom number, bathroom number etc. I say go for the basic as it's just you and Oga. A one bedroom will do. Plan to pay and stay for 3 months - the money you planned to pay hospital in Yankee can be channeled towards this cost.
Transportation in Winnipeg is cheap. Buses are cheap. You'll only need to go for your appointments, baby shopping and groceries. Oga can even do the shopping and you stay warm at home. Expect to pay $200-$250 CAD for you and Oga for bus. Forget buying car now.
For family and social support, wetin you need this for? If you need friends in Winnipeg, PM and I'll help you. But you should not bother about this because you have a project at hand. Face it, then look for family and friends after you born.
For Alberta:
Calgary - PM vcole for hospital and Dr. She had her baby there.
Edmonton - Mummyjagirls and freeradical dey there. Pm them for pointers.
For Sask - PM Salford1 for advice.

If you ask me, go to Canada and save yourself the headache. What you think you're saving by going to America, you'll pay much more in the long run. All the best with the decision you make.

Canadianfly:


Lmao. And they say I'm mean

greggng:


For calling me a scammer without knowing me and what I stand for, I will be reporting you to seun if you fail to submit apology within 24hours. Thereafter I will proceed with reporting this to the police so that you can prove your claim. I don't make empty claim. If you are real I will get you to answer for this character assassination .

greggng:

P

Pls understand me i only directed my message to that nairaland member that asked that question. I didnot say everyone should cpntact me .my intention was not to derail the thread. Is unfortunate if that's your perception and I cannot help it.

Affordablerent:
@Geebaby10, may you birth safely. In my opinion you should give birth in US. You can't compare the worth of an American passport to that of a Canadian one(think of the future not only money to be spent). If your child has an American citizenship, Canadian permanent stay and Nigerian passport, he or she is covered all round.

Canadianfly:


I don't know about ON but when I lived in MB and filed taxes, I always submitted my rent receipts with my tax papers and got some money back.

Engr2000:
It's a public forum though. @Geebaby10, be careful about the advice you take. The above comment is a wrong assumption.
