It doesn't matter. My family friend was already preggy when she applied but she did online application and there was nowhere they asked if she's preggy or not so she didn't indicate. She wasn't called for interview either and was given 4 yrs visa.

Now to the info everyone is itching to hear this is not MHIS Cuz Canadian system is different since our health care is free. Lemme explain.

So for her,

1. Dr fee was 750
2. Hospital was 2500 per day and she stayed just a day nd it's CS Ooo
3. Anesthesia..640

Total is 3890 CAD

The baby paid nothing because immediately he was born, he's Canadian so his health card which was given immediately at the hospital made it free. All the specialist that came to check him like eye, hearing etc was free. So this is the part that in US that adds up cuz baby have to pay.

Hotstepper hello,

Please i sent an e-mail to you.

Do have a great day.

I just got my visa today. Thanks to the advise I received from this thread. I indicated in my letter of introduction that I intend to give birth there and showed family ties back home, bank statement, air ticket (provisional), and also stated the address of the friend I intend to stay with.

I am yet to make a choice of the hospital to use, I heard Toronto is much cheaper than other cities, pls can you advise on which hospital and Gynae to contact. I need to start making arrangements as soon as possible.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Congratulations Didysal,

Try to check the status online, it's meant to take 5/6working days....if there's any issue please go to the nearest service Canada office (I went to the one at North York, Toronto) to log a complaint. I went with a copy of my return ticket to Nigeria and it was scanned to those in charge of birth certificates; i reveived the birth certificate about 3/4days after and thereafter processed a fast-track passport.

you can buzz Hotstepper....i didn't meet her physically but she was really helpful when I got a bit stuck with baby registration documents.

All the best & GOD bless your new-born!

Hotstepper:

Birtb certificate will come within 5 days

You can give us an estimate since you mentioned you were travelling to give birth, I assume your bank statement would hav been reasonable, can u tell us if u don't mind, thanks a lot

Dear All, I want to thank you all for your info and help. I deleivered my Baby safely in Brampton Thanks God and would like to share my experience with all of you;


I paid 3,500 CAD including Epidural, Anesthesia and Anesthetic Dr. - C-Section Delivery!
I delivered in Brampton Civic Hospital and the cost for 1 night was 2,000 CAD for me and 600 CAD for the Baby.

Regarding the airport, no one asked me anything although I was in my 30th week but I wore a lot of loose clothes trying to hide it

I stayed with my brother and his wife so I didn't use rent, but as it's already well known transportation is VERY EXPENSIVE there

The rest of stuff is mentioned clearly in the forum I believe (e.g. birth certificate, passport ...etc)

Thanks again and let me know if anyone need any help or have any question...

rolorolo:
Congrats @Jinyeld on the arrival of your new born.

Just to clarify, how many nights did you stay at the hospital for a C-Section? Did you stay for just one night?. Please confirm as I will most likely give birth through C-Section as well.

Hello Ladies I recently had my baby in Calgary, Canada. Before I applied I read nairaland from pg 1 to 20 plus then. Pls let's read the ALL the pages before asking any question.

At the point of Entry the officer just asked my why am in canada, I said Visiting. He asked who?, what I do for a living & other random questions that has nothing to do with my pregnancy, don't think I spent more than 1 minute him.

My bill for Vaginal Delivery

Admittance fee 838,
Hosp fee daily 3673 (For 24 hrs)
Baby's Hosp bill 1080
Obstetrician fee 500
Paediatrician fee 250
Total CAD$6,341....

Other Expenses
Birth Certificate long 60
Birth Certificate short 41
Passport photo 25.2
Canadian Passport 107
Nigerian Travel Doc 100
Post to Nig. Embassy to & Fro 40
My baby's KLM ticket 243.5

Please Note: If they had asked me if I was pregnant at the Point of entry I would have said YES. There is no point lieing when u r obviously pregnant. If u r lucky u can meet a good officer.

This bill does not include seeing doc before & after delivery. I posted my bill to give a guideline, bills varies from the city u give birth, the doctor, type of delivery and also if there is complication.

I want to use this opportunity to thank Hotstepper for her assistance when applying for baby's Nigeria document. I wld HV applied for Nigerian Visa or passport for baby BT she explained to me that its not necessary. I should just apply for Emergency Travel Certificate for baby which is cheaper & faster.

If you need further information I will try my best to answer. Goodluck!
