Culture / Igbo Culture Experts: Help With My Traditional Wedding Agenda by shilling(f): 10:08am On Apr 21, 2022 |
I'm getting married in August in Canada. Future husband is not Igbo and I've never been to an Igbo wedding. What is the agenda for a traditional Igbo wedding and why do Nigerian weddings last so long? Friday, maybe 5:30pm start: 1. Opening prayer (5mins) 2. Introduction and special recognition of guests on high table and seats (15 mins) 3. Bridal entrance with friends (5mins) 5 Bride’s tasked to find the groom. Bride gives him palm wine and he puts money in her cup (5 mins - pls what's the significance of this?) 6. Couple goes to elders who bless them (10 mins) 7. Groom presents gifts to bride's family (5 mins) 8. Dinner and drinks (60 mins) 9. Couples first dance (10 mins) 10. Cutting of the cake and feeding each other (5 mins) 11. Speeches from best man/woman (5 mins) 12. Vote of thanks and closing prayer (5 mins) 13. Dancing can continue. Am I missing anything? |

Food banks in Canada deliver, and some did before the pandemic. I managed a food bank and my rotary club is currently volunteering to do drop offs. Exclusive101: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yes, food banks are private. But the government also funds food banks through grants and other govt contributions, but the organization TYPICALLY has to apply. Due to the pandemic, food banks and shelters dont have to apply. https://www.surreynowleader.com/news/trudeau-commits-100m-to-help-food-banks-amid-covid-19-crisis/ budaatum: 3 Likes 2 Shares |

You cant be serious. Uvic law school is one of the most reputable law programs in Canada and very to get into. Also a global leader in the areas of environmental and indigenous law. Uni/law school rankings dont matter much in Canada so it's a strange thing to bring up in a congratulatory post. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.macleans.ca/education/canadas-top-school-by-reputation-2020/amp/ ayoadefantastic: |

All health authorities in Canada are regional because health care in Canada is provincial ie regional, so that goes without saying in this thread. I know the visa requirements for Chinese health tourists because they are a large percentage of the clients I work with because I live in BC where some cities have a population that is close to 50% Chinese . If you think the visa requirements for Nigerians to Canada is the same as all other nationalities, or that visa officers treat everyone/case the same, you're completely mistaken. I have told ppl how they can interpret this rule and get this letter ie from a doctor, clinic or hospital. The fact that you got the letter in a certain manner doesnt mean more options arent available. [Quote] Just based on the bolded above, it looks like you have no idea what we are talking about. This letter has become a requirement during the visa applications for birth. How would you know that a Chinese tourist was not asked for this letter? Please let’s just focus on these issues. Since it does not appear that you have been following the conversations happening here. Also note that you are missing a key word. The embassy specifically states regional health authority. Many people here even stayed they attached letter from hospital the only person that attached from a regional health authority which is myself got the visa so far.(although I am not sure that this is the reason)[/quote] |
Travel / Re: Giving Birth In Canada by shilling(f): 9:18am On Jan 12, 2020 |
I live in BC and can speak to that experience, since we have a very high number of Chinese birth tourists. Health authorities are a network of medical service providers. They are not an actual service provider. Every nurse, doctor, hospital etc is part of a health authority. This is usually grouped geographically. Example: https://www.islandhealth.ca/about-us As such, when a person is asked to get a letter from a health authority for birth visa purposes, you can get a letter from a hospital in said health authority you hope to give birth in OR any medical service provider ie obgyn in the health authority you plan to give birth in. Both are part of said health authority, and it will literally state that on the letterhead what health authority the dr or hospital is part of. Also note that I have never heard of this letter being a requirement for Chinese birth tourists. If you have other questions, pls PM me. Oluwatise2016: |

Clearly, reading comprehension is an issue for you. The 2016 CBC article you quoted says: "Sometimes when hospital beds are full, local mothers are diverted to other hospitals" The same article says a new mom was driven 30km away because the closest hospital was full. Here's another article from 8 days ago: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5413296 "There are times when ... the people living here don't get the service that they need," one nurse said. When the unit was very busy, one nurse said services like prenatal tests to check the baby's health, labour inductions and other tests to check fetal and maternal risk factors would be delayed or cancelled." Do you understand how far 30km is to get to a hospital? Esp when you're in labour and live in a developed country like Canada? This is not the norm here, and this is a reduction in quality of care. Obviously it's mostly Chinese tourists, however the government or average Canadian doesn't care what nationalities are responsible. Re: health authorities, wikipedia says "Most health regions or health authorities are organized along geographic boundaries, however, some are organized along operational lines." Every hospital in Canada falls under a health authority, because health authorities are essentially a grouping or network of medical care providers. I WOULD KNOW since I'm a Canadian citizen who works in health in a management capacity, and see letters from health authorities and doctors sent out all the time. Clearly this is the case as someone a few pages ago said they obtained one. The fact that it's harder for non-residents to get this letter doesn't mean it's impossible. Learn to read. Then argue with yourself. Bluefin: |

This is false. A Canadian health authority isnt a health leader, but basically a geographical grouping of health providers. Someone can request a letter from any medical facility in any health authority, or medical provider ie doctor that is part of said health authority. There are numerous across Canada, and these letters are not difficult to get for Canadians. International patients DO NOT displace locals in hospitals but DO reduce quality of care for local patients due to increased demand. On another note, even if birth visas are still being handed out, everyone should be aware that many clinics and hospitals are being mindful of backlash and no longer serving foreign patients.

You need provincial healthcare coverage to access a midwife, but you are entitled to midwifery services as a resident. You can also research various provinces to see what their healthcare coverage looks like, because each province can be quite different. Remember that not everyone is eligible for a midwife depending on the nature of the pregnancy, and you may end up needing a doctor which is a huge hassle to sort out if you don't have coverage. So, I would look into getting coverage immediately you arrive. https://www.ontariomidwives.ca/what-midwife https://www.ontariomidwives.ca/sites/default/files/Handout%20for%20Uninsured%20Clients.pdf Esomimi: |
