Hello people,
Am safely back from my journey, all thanks to God almighty. none of the Cbp was interested in my huge baby bump, they just had my passport stamped in. had my baby after 24 hrs i arrived my destination, Lloyminster Alberta, it was indeed a miracle birth. God decided to bring the baby out at 37 weeks at Praire north hospital at Lloydminster, the nurses and doctors were good and the hospital is also good. spent about 7000cad for all the hospital bills. the only aspect i didnt like is the issue of not giving free health card and social insurance number until d child is 18yrs where he or she can apply for both personally except one of d parent is atleast resident in Canada. hotstepper please get well soon and analyse that for us as you promised.
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by rekiya84: 11:54am On Feb 13, 2017
thanks for your prompt response pls i wouldn't mind you giving me an insight of what accommodation will cost and hospital bills if you have any information sorry to bother you on this I have only traveled to UK and have no clear knowledge of Canada going by all i have read on the trend i would love to stick to Toronto as i have read about a couple of people you have helped out hope i'm not being too forward if I'm my apologies.

Hotstepper:


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 hearsmiley 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.



How long did her visa take to be processed?

good day everyone... i have been following this thread for a while now. thanks to hotstepper and every other person that contributes and all.God bless.I need opinions please. i got my canadian visa approved last year april, was planning on going during summer but couldnt cos of ticket fares so i decided to do it around feb or march this year as advised by my friend that works with BA that fares would have gone down a bit.Anyway the gist now is that i found out i was pregnant for my 4th after 9 weeks around september and now decided to use the visa for birthing purposes so i had to join this thread. i got a doctor through my host at calgary, discussed with him(nigerian doc). so i was good to go.alreday Dh and i had contacted a friend's elder sister who accepted to accomodate me since i was coming alone and she gave us the doc's contact. i left naija jan 21st through BA, arrived london to now check in to calgary and i was informed my visa has been revoked by canadian govt.I didnt believe it. so i went to my profile and saw they sent a mail asking me to come for an interview on the 20th of dec and was given only one week to appear but honestly i didnt see it and that same period i was in uk with my family on christmas vacation. I contacted them and they said i misrepresented during my visa application. my friend's fiance that lives in canada was of the opinion that someone must have contacted them that i wanted to use the visa for birthing purposes. now no one knew i was travelling to canada, not even my siblings or hubbys people.the only person that knew was the lady i was to stay with,my kids, my hubby and myself! when we called her to ask her if she contacted the authorites her answers were not adding up and she started avoiding us. now i wrote to canadian embassy asking why they revoked my visa, they have asked me to come for another interview in lag. i am heavy, i stay at abuja and havent decided yet.thats my story oh and i have learnt

Calm down n read before commenting. She said it was revoked not expired. Also remember that if you dont check your emails frequently, you will never see the notification for new mail in your cic profile.

@Amiableada, i really feel sad for you. Just toughen up and go for the invite.

please i didnt state that my visa has expired. i was issued a visa april 2016 to expire 2020 which was my very first canadian visa . so i dont know where the talk of expired visa came out from now. the visa was revoked dec 28th 2016 after they had invited me to come for an interview on the 20th dec which i didnt see.they sent it to my profile but i didnt see it. i have all the details of the mails they sent and can post them here. i think they called me for the interview after they were informed i wanted to use the visa for somethin else probably they wanted to confirm the 'tip off' . and again whybwould they issue a visa, and call me back to come for an interview when i havent even used the visa for once?

Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Nita2013: 11:12pm On Feb 22, 2017
Wow..... its obvious something went wrong somewhere. But even if it was ur host that informed them, just ignore. I kno its not easy but try and calm down. Go for d interview and hear what they av to say. If u r pardoned God be praised and if not accept it like that and av ur baby in naija.

One thing i realise about many Nigerians abroad is that we over here av more info than them. But some will ask further for more explanation while some will do oversabi and end up causing problem for d person. Some font believe one can actually apply for visa and declare purpose as childbirth while some will say hide the pregnancy to enter because they think if one declares, its automatic deportation etc

I pray all will be well and let Gods will be done. Cheers

Re: Giving Birth In Canada by JESUnifemi4eva: 9:52am On Feb 23, 2017
Hi Amiableada

First thing is please try not to get worried especially with your current stage of pregnancy.

Second thing is just as Nita said; some hosts (assuming the host caused this issue) might have done oversabi while trying to get more information and not necessarily with the intention to hurt you.

Thirdly, can you ask them to change the venue of your interview to Abuja as you might not be able to fly to Lagos due to your present health condition (most domestic airlines are horrendous about fit-to-fly policies for pregnant women) or just reschedule to a more convenient time.

Forthly - try to attend the interview and present evidence that you were not pregnant when the visa was issued, you saw on their website that it is not a crime to have your baby in Canada (the link is somewhere in this thread) and most importantly - your financial statements showing evidence that you have the capacity to pay for your treatment.

please go with an open mind, i hope you get your visa re-instated but above all...May GOD'S will be done for you and your baby.Amen

Hello there,
In your application, you are normally asked to fill in your travel dates; if your travels dates indicated that you would be travelling during the summer then the embassy would become suspicious when you don't as seen by absence at port of arrival; this could be the possible reason they said you misrepresented information hence revoking of your visa and asking you to appear for another interview in December; that way things can be clarified.

But now I provided all the necessary documents cous am official married and we did court wedding to. Please house will the verify. And will did affect my application.
Re: Giving Birth In Canada by KaptainAfrika: 11:54am On Feb 25, 2017
1. Applied for US Visa in 2014...you said you are married to Mr A
2. Applied for Canadian visa, and you said you are married to Mr B
3. You won't have to be worried, if you were consistent with your marital status. If you can defend the inconsistency, then you have nothing to be worried about.
4. Yes they share information, expect an email from the Canadian embassy, all the best in your defence of the different marital status.
5. If your response to the Canadian email isn't satisfactory, your US Visa might be revoked too.
