Your visiting visa status will not allow for you to apply for your study permit from canada. You will have to apply for it from nigeria. [/quote]

Hello gurus in the house, please I need clarification, I have a visit visa already and an admission which starts September 2017, so can I apply for study permit while still in Nigeria or till I get into canada, please which is advisable?

No it won't work for cash withdrawal, only online from experience though.



Pls who knows if cash withdrawal with access bank card is possible abroad[/quote]

Atlanta moms please how long does it take for the US passport to be issued and what can I do to get the birth cert bf the normal 8days, I need to leave asap. Please ur response will be highly appreciated.

Hello mamas n papas.

IN THE SPIRIT OF GIVING BACK (MY TESTIMONY ON MISSIONARY JOURNEY PT 1)

Dollar Hustle: it wasn't easy at all but to God be d glory I got PTA from first Bank loaded into my Visa gold card, I also did western union, opened access bank acc got their visa card, I hv my UBA n GTB master cards.

Flight Hustle: that one almost discouraged me totally, after searching for a cheap flight to Atlanta like forever, I finally got Turkish though I never used it bf but had no choice since it was the cheapest. I was suppose to travel on the 8th of Jan but the ticket got messed up and Turkish cancelled that flight so I booked another one for 14th Jan "see gap ooooo and belle Don drop like kilode"

POE: finally I left abj on the 14th at about 3am, got to Istanbul like past 10am same 14th, used my VIP card enter lounge "see food for free chaiiiii" then we took off again around 3pm straight to Atlanta, flight was good though it wasn't funny seating for 12hrs at 36weeks. Zooommmm we got to ATL at night same 14th, I used the machine n printed out my receipt, I was the only pregnant woman ooo with my big belle, immidiatly the security took me straight to the front make i for no too stand for queue.
CBP : hello passport
ME: hi gave him
CBP: I see u were here last Feb 2016, how long did u spend?
ME: 3weeks then port to Canada n came in again for another 3weeks.
CBP: So how long do u want to spend on this trip?
ME: 8weeks cos am here to give BIRTH
CBP: Oh really! Hv u made arrangements wit doc n hospital and how much do u hv?
ME: absolutely I hv $.. all in card.
CBP: OK I will send u to my colleague to confirm ur money

CBP2: which hospital are u using? Have u made any payment yet and how much is it gona cost in all?
ME: I told him everything as for payment not yet until after my first aptmt.
CBP2: Do u know what u are expecting?, is this your first baby and why do u want to give birth to this baby in US instead of ur country?
ME: yes baby bla bla, no its my third but first in US the other two wasn't a too good experience so I want a better health care this time.
CBP2: OK am sorry I don't mean to keep u for long but I will send u to a room where u will relax, use the restroom n wait for my colleague to verify ur money.
ME: OK no wahala "na so I enter secondary inspection"

I went in straight to the restroom jare cos I was even pressed, nah so I piss finish just declared a word of prayer, came out and sat magestically with plenty other people though not pregnant. After few min I was called.

CBP3: how much do u hv, and why do u want to give birth here?
ME: I gave same answer and he said "don't tell me it's cos of better health care that's Nigerians normal saying so just tell me d truth" I started laughing and he said "u are good to go and hv a nice stay, I wish u all the best"

Na so I happy cos he didn't even ask to see anything just two questions n I ran away ooooo, waited for my luggage's nothing was searched and everything scaled through including palm canel oil.

Am relaxing while waiting for my doc appointment and LO to arrive fast.

To God alone be the glory, tanks to everyone on this platform cos u all inspired me and took away fear from me cos my heart did not panic all along because I was over prepared for them. God bless u all.

HI dear, please I need your DR contact if you don't mind, I hv sent u an email kindly reply.

jinyeid:
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...

Please epp a sis, I hv a valid visiting visa but would be in Canada Jan, can I apply for study permit while in Canada already or what should I do? The course is just for 8months (diploma)

[quote author=enidot post=50853037]Issues! had a similar situation with SIL convinced DH totally about Medicaid even called and process it. One midnyt I just wake dh that I will never forgive him if the medicaid was issued as we have sufficient cash on us. DH called his colleagues back in his office to enquire and they told him all effect afterwards. Sharply he told his sis that we settle all bills. SIL then decided that we go to their public health and register, funny enuf Daville VA is a low cost living city where the cost of everything is almost 60-70 percent lower than normal. Some test are conducted free (the ones conducted ryt inside the hospital) while the rest are just too cheap below our estimated quote from Henrico dr hopital. The moment I told them I'm paying ryt away they give ridiculous discount sharp sharp and issue receipts on the spot. Anyone coming in to south Virginia shouldn't compromise just register straight with Daville Regional Medical Center. Good services at negotiable rates.


Nice one! Give details of the bill to help a sister or send it email for more clarifications since pm is falling hand. Someone is very interested and need's guide.

catalano:

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.

Pls which state did she use and if it's Ontario, pls give details of the hospital n Dr for people like me seriously searching for one to benefit from.

[quote author=Orllec post=50630085]Hi, can you please send me the details of the doctor



Pls which state did she use and if it's Ontario, pls give details of the hospital n Dr for people like me seriously searching for one to benefit from.

geojay:
Helo sweet mamas and papies, am here to show my appreciation, with my full loads of questions and worries, you answered in love. Now in the US with my mum and baby, no problem at all at the poe in houston, infact the officer didnt know i was pregnant, he asked why we are in houston, i told him vacation and, before i could finish, he just said ohh, dts nice on vacation, i quickly chipped in, "and for childbirth too" he was like, are you pregnant, yes i am, he stood up abit to look at my tummy, he then asked how far gone i am, i told him 34weeks, he said waoo and you dont look it, well, but to me, i feel am.carrying the biggest tummy in the world. He stamped my baby, stamped my mum's and stamped mine too amd welcome us to usa. Proceeded to baggage claim and then to inspectiom, i guess its the monetary inspectiom side, was asked to fill a form, asked why i had so much money, i told her because am coming for delivery and i am paying cash, she asked for the receipt of my last delivery, i gave her everything, she checked and said what kind of work do you do, to have all these cash, before i could reply, she tapped on her system amd said ohh, ok, come along with me to where your foodstuff will go through inspection, she later helped me with the trolley, saying "you look tired and you look like you wanna drop that baby here now, let me help you? She helped me pushed the trolley while my mum back my baby, i just drag along cos am so tired and wornout, it was late. At the food inspection, my knorr chicken was collected, even though it doesnt have wrap, they knew it, they collected my tubers of yam, whole 3, chaii, i kept saying, my yam, my yam, they just bursted into laughter and said its not allowed. Well, i got to the hotel and found out that i still have a small yam left in my bag, it looks like diamond to me. So that was how my poe experience went .

Lmao@my yam my yam

You can as well try their city hospitals, I learned it's cheaper so make Google your friend or bounce to Texas or Atlanta.



I have contacted two hospitals in new York and their fee is between $10000 - $12000 without doctor's fee. But will b glad if anyone can provide me with contacts of other hospitals in new york that are cheaper.
