Do yoy have dr info for Calgary?



Oleayo22:

Where in Alberta? If in Edmonton, try Missericordia, GreyNun, etc.
Get your friend book help you book appointment with their family doctor if they have. It is the family doctor that will refer you to an obstetrician and you can use the hospital he/she is affiliated with.

People of God, I am back to give back.
So our sweet angel arrived gloriously in 9ja on Saturday, and the excitement is much more than a visa approval could bring. grin grin grin
While we were still rejoicing and enjoying the sweetness of her arrival, I got a mail from the embassy two days after she was born that we can submit our passport. I guess for visa approval ni.
Suddenly, we moved from a hopeless wait for a visa, to double celebration of both baby's safe delivery and visa approval. Chai! grin grin grin
We shall jejely submit and use visa for vacations beleful and possible future birth jor. grin grin grin
N/B: We stated in our application that it was for birthing by the way.
And though I had a valid US visa, wifey was refused US visa before we applied for Canada.
Submitted online application 7th June, biometrics done 11th June, request for passport received 20th August.
Please don't give up. Whether US denied you is not as important as being truthful and keeping hope alive, its a game of destiny.
I still wish all Canny Moma hopefuls here the best.

Elders please how do I apply for our two kids to include them on our future vacation trip?
Pls help.

Wow! Big congratulations to you and your wife on the arrival of your bundle of joy, and on your Passport Request indicating visa approval. It’s all good my brother, do enjoy the joy of the addition to the family, painful though, I remember telling you it was going to be a tight one per the timing of the application submission.

Thanks to God, you declared your intention to birth in Canada appropriately in your application, that’s a whole lot of edge now, your baby’s visa approval is almost certain, worry less. Don’t be in a hurry to use the visa at all. Your wife and baby can easily and “jejelly” obtain a US visa too, it will be much more easier now with the Canadian visa. There are different sequences to follow though

Greetings house,
I sent an email over the weekend to make an enquiry about my visa application. I applied june2nd and did biometrics June 13th. I got a mail today requesting for:
1)provide evidence( medical documents) that you are pregnant.
2)provide evidence( letter from a doctor in Canada) that your stated appointment is confirmed. Request the dr in Canada to provide you with an estimated cost of delivery and other fees involved in your birth tourism project.
3)pls provide additional proof of funds if the estimated cost is higher than what you have submitted in your current budget.
This must be recieved by 28/08/2019.. sent from the London office.

N:B I already made an appointment with a doctor via phone and included it in my letter of explanation as the Canadian doctors don’t give correspondence. The doctors office also gave me their bill, which was what I used to make my budget.
Please, I need your suggestions on how to go about this. Thanks

Is this Dr K?
I guess you have other requirements except Dr's letter. You can send me a PM . The time is short though but its achievable.
It's also good to know they now consider medical visa for childbirth.

Oh great to get your candid advise ma.
Please no one should give up on applying for birth tourism to Canada.
Just make sure you put forward a water-tight application.
I pray you all get your heart's desires granted.

They may not verify balance but they usually send statement to bank to confirm if the submitted statement originated from them and if its genuine

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!

Good day everyone, been reading through this thread for a bit. Is there anyone that has info on an affordable part of Canada to give birth knowing that it's likely to be by CS and you don't have anyone with you to assist? How does one get accommodation and a person that can assist for awhile after birth and also a good doctor / hospital

I finally had my baby 2 months ago.
The bill below is a one night hospital stay for vaginal birth. Brampton civic hospital
As mentioned earlier I used Dr kayode Ayodele

Hospital was 2000 CAD
Baby 600

Dr including prenatal, birth, epidural n post 3500 CAD

Lab n blood work 87CAD (Dr accepted most of my lab from Ghana) I used Dynacare

Pediatrician visit after birth was free

Passport (fast track 5 working days) 105
Birth certificate 60
Visa Ghana ( fast track 2 days ) 150
Ticket 98 Brussels airlines

Congratulations and thank u for coming bk to share with us. God bless.

I want to use this medium to inform furture mothers that hospitals here has changed, probably because of the experience they are having .

For example,Brampton Civic how reguire you to deposit 8000 CAD upon coming to the hospital so please let us be aware especially for those who borrow money to.do medical visa or those who cuz they do not havr enough fund apply for visiting visa.

As much as we all.hope for VA birth, anything can happen, thus why it is important to have more than enough in case of emegerncy .

Happy Sunday!
