Where it says Other, that's where you can put birth as it is illegal to give birth. Or u can leave it and when u get at the POE, u can say there was no option of that but u r here for birth purposes. Make sure u have enough money nd if possible Dr's letter with u. Make sure u stay away from Montreal airport. Ur friend that was denied, did she go via Montreal?




britiko:
Hello house, some few weeks back I met with a preggy who was denied entry into canada. Reason for denial was that she never declared her intent of having her baby in canada when she applied for her visa.

My question is this;
Is there any where on the canadian visa application form where applicants are asked if they are pregnant?

Secondly, a friend of mine is presently a few weeks pregnant and intends delivering d baby in Canada. Is she meant to accompany her application with a letter of intent declaring her motives from the onset of her application? Pls I need clarifications.

Thank you.

Hello Nlanders,
just a quick one.
If a pregnant woman is turned back at the POE,who pays for the flight back to Nigeria?

Also,going through the online route,what can i use as purpose of travel - other and how is that different from letter of invitation,how does one get a flight itinery for visa application purpose without neccesarily paying just incase visa is denied?

Thank you as you respond.

The waka tire me jare. The thing no just dey straightforward at all like the US one. I know someone too, who just had her baby and says the documentation process is taking forever. But she did enter at about 35 weeks.

Another one was refused entry at POE cos she didn't inform the embassy of her birthing plans.

Which hospital did your friend use?
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by vcole: 10:07am On Jan 05, 2016
choi! inform how now? sheybi na online visa app na. abi na to put birth under "other"?
I will find out the hospital and get back to you. she is still there though.

Maybe she should have written to their embassy informing them of her birthing intentions after getting the visa. Just same as the US parole.
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by kehara: 2:36pm On Jan 05, 2016
I applied for a tourist visa in 2010 with my husband and my passport was sent back for a medical test. I didn't declare in the application I was pregnant and already 30 weeks. I went for the test and got a refusal that our intention for traveling was not clear. We used hotel reservation.

Am 17 weeks pregnant now and want to apply again with my daughter. I have two kids. A Nigerian and American.

Should I declared in my application I would be having a baby in Canada because of the past history or just apply for a tourist visa.

My uncle lives in Ontario and would be giving us a letter of invitation.
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by vcole: 4:47pm On Jan 05, 2016
We are as unsure as you are as to what the "correct" thing to do is. Do you declare that you want to have a baby? does that mean you would be granted or refused a visa? The matter tire person oh!
Since you already have a history of a refused application, i think you should apply and state that you want to have a baby. Fill in your uncle's details as contact. Also, put in his invitation letter. Make sure you have funds available. Then, if he can, let him try to get you a doctor or hospital.....they may not give you any document but a general overview of the service and cost of care should suffice.
You can also opt to just apply for a regular tourist visa and then travel early when your bump is not obvious.
However, have a US visa as a back up plan just incase.

Re: Giving Birth In Canada by kehara: 8:10am On Jan 06, 2016
@ vcole thanks. My husband also thinks that the right thing to do, declare our intention in the application.

I don't know if there is anyone who has gone to Ontario Scarborough and could assist with contact details of a doctor who would be willing to give an overview of the service and cost of care.
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by vcole: 9:09am On Jan 06, 2016
well, i may be wrong but from what i have gathered, about CAD5,000 should more than cover your cost of care. However, the canadian health system is different from the US, its more of the UK NHS-kinda system, only its way better service. Basically, you may not be able to contact a doctor or hospital yourself. Its usually a friend/relative who would hook you up with a GP who would then refer you to an ob/gyn who would handle your care and deliver you at the closest hospital to your place of residence.
I think since you are starting early, you should apply via the online or paper route. Declare birth or delivery purposes under "other" where you are asked for purpose of visit. Speak with your uncle if he could liaise with his GP to get a letter. If that works out, then you fill in the doc/hospital details under contact. However, if it proves impossible, then you can fill your uncle's details as contact and let him give you a letter of invitation. he can chip in somewhere that you intend to access medical care while on this trip and that you have made funds available to cover the cost of care and would be returning to Nigeria after.
