chloe00:CS is X2 for mother, X2 for baby cos it's 2days stay. Doctor I heard is $5000 |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Nobody: 2:23am On May 09, 2019 |
Candybright:One mom on here has CS and got discharged same day according to the post I read through , she said it was a fast and painless surgery the doctor examined and discharged her within the 24 hour time frame |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Hotstepper(f): 5:59am On May 09, 2019 |
yea but it might not be same for everyone. Also, her baby had jaundice and she had to come bk for additional 2 days costing her 5k. In essence, be prepared as u cannot use 1 case to judge. A typical canadian dr will not let u go.after a day of CS ...plz bear that in mind. Also, r u going to be coming with anyone cuz that lady had alot of help from family members anf I know cuz I visited her. chloe00: |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Nobody: 8:17am On May 09, 2019 |
Hotstepper:Yes most likely I’ll be coming with someone if granted a visa because after CS I’ll need all the help I can get even the stretch to pick something na war , I can’t totally rely on my host because they may not have time for me . If I can’t get anyone to come with I’ll have to abort the mission because I can’t come single handed when I’m sure I’m birthing via CS. Yes I intend to plan for 3 day stay for CS but one day stay isn’t impossible abi ![]() |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Candybright: 9:07am On May 09, 2019 |
chloe00:wow, that was fast. Anyways, everyone should have extra cash in case of supposed vaginal birth turns to CS and in case they have to stay 2days. |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Fvine: 10:14am On May 09, 2019 |
Candybright:Very true. Better to over budget than under budget and get stuck. |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Fvine: 10:18am On May 09, 2019 |
chloe00: Maybe explore the option of hired help there. I know that's an option that some people take in US. The same cost of visa fees, ticket and feeding for someone to travel with you, you can see if it'll cover the cost of the hired help. Cheers! and Good luck. |

bigtalla: Ok, got in and joined the queue. 1st officer asked what I was there for. Told him childbirth and vacay. He did a red marker like crossing on my landing card, welcomed me and directed me to a 2nd inspection room. Stood in line for at least 20mins before it got to my turn. Approached the available officer, young Caucasian male wearing an ear stud�. Officer: Hello Ma'am, what brings you to Canada? Me: I'm having a baby next month and also holidaying. Officer: Oh I see. Return ticket please Me: Here ( I show it to him) Officer: So how do you intend to pay for it? Childbirth is very expensive in this country Me: Yes indeed, I have the required funds Off: How much is it costing you? Me: I'm expecting to spend between 7-8k CAD in all on Dr's fees, hosp fees and other associated costs. Off: lHe laughs) No way you're spending that little to have a child here ma'am. It costs at least 20000CAD to have a baby here. Me: I know sir but for self paying non-residents like me, the daily rates are what I've quoted to you Off: (Still shaking his head in disagreement): Who's your Dr? Do you have an appt? Let me see your appt letter. Where are you staying, How much do have on you? How do I know you'll leave my country after you're done? Let me have your Dr's name and contact.(Proceeds to place a call, it wasn't answered) How much do you have on your cards? Whew! It was a barrage of questions but I tolld myself to calm down and field each question calmly. In the end, after perusing through my accomodation reservation, my passport, return tickets, cash at hand, bank statements, he handed all over and stamped me in and said Welcome to Canada. 6 Likes |

Hello everyone. I'm new on this thread. I'd like to ask if it's not to late to apply for Canadian Medical Tourist visa to have my baby. I'm already 6 months down. Is it not too late or employing the services of an agent be the easy way out. I'd be waiting for your candid opinions. Thank you 1 Like |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Izu2016: 12:20am On May 10, 2019 |
I don't think it's late to apply UzzyBreeze: |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by folmus: 11:00am On May 10, 2019 |
UzzyBreeze: Not too late if you have all your documents handy. This thread is DIY. However, it's your choice of agent. Agent has no influence on your application decision. 1 Like |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by aye88: 12:12pm On May 10, 2019 |
UzzyBreeze: I'm not here to burst your bubbles or dampen your spirit but i personally believe it is late. I am talking from my personal experience. Especially if you will be applying for medical visa. That is if you will be declaring yoy are going for childbirth. They will take their time. Maybe a normal TRV wouldnt. Mine took 7 weeks plus before i got a passport request. Stamping of passport os another one week or more. If successful with your application, by the time you are done, you will be getting close to the 40weeks mark. You can however give it a try and jlhope for the best. Worst case scenerio, you travel at 38weeks |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Candybright: 10:16pm On May 10, 2019 |

Re: Giving Birth In Canada by UzzyBreeze: 11:37pm On May 10, 2019 |
Thanks to everyone for their contributions. It has indeed firm up my decision to start up. But does anyone think chances might be slim if I declare my intention to have the baby there or normal visit visa since tommy isn't so obvious for now. Please enlighten me more. Thanks |

Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Fvine: 5:41am On May 11, 2019 |
UzzyBreeze:Please declare. It's legal to travel to Canada just to go give birth. It's on their website. Infact from what I've read here, some women have been sent back at Port of Entry for lying. The only way to avoid declaring on your application I think is if you apply online and there's no place to fill that in, but e en at that if you're asked at any time, best is to tell the truth. Am sure sabi elders like @hotstepper will advice you too when online. |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Perence: 9:12pm On May 12, 2019 |
In the spirit of giving back. I have been following this thread for a while and I have learnt a lot. I got my Canadian visa long before I thought of giving birth. When I got pregnant we decided to have our last baby in Canada as the order two were born in America. I left abuja for Toronto yesterday 11/05/2019 on British airways. I was asked for my fit to fly, which I gave to them, they made a copy and returned the original to me. My stopover in London was very short, I got into Toronto 8pm local time.i Joined the long queue. They had a part automated immigration system, I used the machine answered the questions and got a printout, after that I was directed to the queue to see the immigration officer that will sign me in. Immigration officers: what are you here for? To have your baby? Me- yes and to visit family to Immigration official- how long are you staying Me- 2mths Immigration officer- where does your family stay? Me- Brampton Immigration Officer- welcome to Canada and congratulations on your baby(as he stamps me in) I just quickly walked away before he changes his mind. I prayed for ease of passage, and God exceeded my expectations. Wishing everyone the best of luck... 12 Likes |

Hello everyone, Please I need help wit the following. 1. Which is the faster application means for Canadian visa? Paper or via their online portal? 2. How long is processing time? 3. What is usually the visa validity issued to applicants with a valid us visa? NB:: I have a US visa that will expire next month. |
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by MsOby07: 1:40pm On May 17, 2019 |
Many thanks for this info. Please how did you go about getting hospital correspondence. Did you book an appointment with them. I'm asking because reading through this thread, I observed that most hospitals in CA do not give any appointments (and probably quotes) until they see you physically. Thanks for your response... aye88: 1 Like |

Good afternoon all, I have read from page 1 to 113 but am still little bit confused. Please I need assistance . 1) I applied for USA visa, and my interview appointment is for October 2nd while my EDD is November 25th. I think it’s too close to my due date. Will applying to canada be considered wrong since am still on USA wait list? 2) I intend to be honest with my application. From what I have read here, you need to attach your doctors correspondence while applying , since Canadian doctors don’t give email correspondence, what do I attach? 3) my husband is the sponsor. I hv a bal of 2m in my account, he wants to transfer more money before I print my statements. Will that raise a red flag or I should just upload his statement like that? 4)From what I have read, Ontario is the best option as it’s less expensive. Am I right? 5) how can I find a family doctor to refer me to an gyna? Am only 13 weeks gone. So sorry for my plenty questions. Please help a sister. @hotstepper(thanks for all u do) @Mamaoo @ Omobendy..... and other super mamas.. |
