@adewa1980, you have two choices, 1. If you don't have to land in canada in a hurry due to medical or passport expiration, give birth in nigeria, then send notification to CIC for the new addition. It would cost you much less than paying out of pocket. 2. If you need to be in canada urgently, then read this thread diligently, get the basics of the process, begin to use google to search out hospitals in your desired location, hit the phone lines and start making calls. Where possible, if you have friends already in ontario, then get referals from them... https://www.nairaland.com/1346880/giving-birth-canada/65 hope this helps.. Modified: going through your posts, i see you live in UK and did your medicals between sep-nov 2017, so you still have time. in that case , option 1 is good. However, a brief skimming through the canada birth thread shows that our najia brethern have started to spoil business for other people ![]() 7 Likes 1 Share |

[qquote author=Tojued post=67105707] You can't buy health insurance for a pre existing condition like pregnancy. You can't land in alberta and fulfil their six month health care obligation if you were sponsored by ontario. You have a moral obligation to spend at least two years in ontario. Best bet is the thread op has already been referred to. Even though she's PR she has to pay for her delivery etc and that thread can help get the best value for her money.[/quote] Hello, please I will like to ask similar question. I will be landing in Ontario September and my due date is end of December. From my calculation the 90 days wait would have been over before the due date. Please within that period can I get health insurance or not. Thanks. |

mamacajah: Option 1 is out of the question if she's anything like me. Birthing in Nigeria scares the heck outta me. With all these rude nurses one encounters during antenatal classes. God forbid bad thing. |

honey86: My question is one kind abeg, make una no vex. So I am currently an FCCA and I've done the online course on overview of Canadian tax and law. Looking through the requirements for membership to CPA Ontario, it says "bachelors degree from a recognized university". I have an HND (albeit WES assessed) I just want to know if there's anyone that has been in my shoes and has received the designation. I have spoken to CPA Ontario (about transcripts), and they have no problem with WES sending that across. I am only asking for me to get reassured. Thanks in advance. |

kachikapor: I'm actually at this stage with CPA BC. Got my school to send my transcript but it didn't have a statement saying they awarded a degree. CPA BC requested they send, by courier, a letter stating it explicitly. These guys can be very unreasonable atimes. I contacted CPA BC to find out if they would accept a report from WES, since I had done my ECA, and their answer was affirmative on the condition that it is sent directly by WES. Unfortunately, WES requires me to initiate a new ECA for the purpose of certifications. WES conditions stipulates that each ECA can only be for one purpose. If you want a report for another purpose such as admission to university, certification etc, you have to initiate another ECA. I'm still trying to follow up with my school to send the letter since it's cheaper than getting a new WES report. So I advice you get WES to send a report. If you choose to go through your school, they will need to state categorically that they awarded you a degree, which I doubt they will state unless CPA Ontario are more lenient and understand HND is equivalent to degree. For me, I just got AOR on Friday so I'm not exactly in a hurry. |
