TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by aye88: 1:28pm On Jan 31, 2019
Those that applied and indicated childbirth, please did you include details of the hospital or doctor you will be using in your application. I applied January 6th and started tourism. Indicated childbirth in the letter of explanation. My application was refused. Reason is purpose of visit and personal and financial asset. I applied with my mum, hubby and my self. Hubby for two weeks, myself and my mum for two months. Hubby is the primary applicant. He has a valid us visa. My mum has a valid us visa too. My us visa recently expired. We put in documents of all our properties. We had seven thousand euro in hubby account balance. Should I reapply. What else can I add that hasn't been added already. Should I do a budget sheet. I don't know what else they want. We also added hubby pension statement that had about 13 million naira in it. What is wrong with our purpose of visit. Is childbirth tourism not a valid reason to travel?. Is 7 thousand euro too small. Please help look into this

Having applied in the last week of in December 2018, I did my bio-metrics first week January 2019. i followed the advise given here by mentioning that i would be having my baby while on visit to my brother. The response to application came yesterday and I was denied. It was specifically mentioned that my coming to have baby was the reason for denial.

This is not to say anyone should lie about their intentions, I am just giving feedback..................

I hereby pray for as many that are awaiting decisions, that the results shall favor you all.

e seun o.


Whaoooo. Which way to go. Please was it stated that childbirth isn't allowed or what. Or it's a crime. How can they deny you solely on that basis. Please can you share exactly how it was written?. Did you apply alone. What about the documents you submitted. So sorry about this

So, I have just gone through my documents and the MA office is the "The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services" and what they sent to me was an "All Claims Report". I hope it helps someone although like I mentioned, each State will probably have it's office. This one was for MassHealth.
Very enlightening post. But what about those who didn't use Medicaid but got discounts from the hospital cos they are paying cash. That seem to be more if the case now that even Medicaid users. Most of us have been enlightened not to accept Medicaid but the issue now is discounts given by hospitals which the embassy is now frowning at.

On a more serious note, I will advise those who can and are sure they are most likely some good percentage sure of their qualification for the Canada TRV, to apply ASAP. Applications can be treated in 1, 2, 3 week(s) this period, but after now - say from April/May even as early as March - you might just be on a long thing. July/August has proved to be a no-go area over time, processing your application then can take up to between 3-6 months no joke. Be forewarned, be forearmed!

Also factor in the likelihood of a mad-rush happening too because of US visa rejections for both renewal (these lots have seriously turned to Canada and are actually the major reason the Canada Visa and birthing threads have come alive and are somewhat beginning to boom) and those never granted before, and that loads of peeps are more interested in checking out of naija urgently this period, this second occurrence might change later in the year too - long after the elections. Regards y’all!
Good point. Very apt. Whoever wants to apply for visa should do so now. Even if you are going to use it later.

[quote author=Obylo1 post=74594087]Thanks for responding, this is my third child and I intended to stop here though hubby feels we can still try for another. If I want to take a chance, should I be plain in the application that am going for childbirth or just vacation? If it doesn't come through early enough, can I use the vacation visa for childbirth if I decide to go have my next baby there or even this if I can walk around the fit to fly stuff? Pls response needed.

The timing of processing is unpredictable. But you are already 31 weeks, lets say its processed in 2 weeks, and you are asked to bring your passport the 3rd week. That makes it around 35 weeks and travelling at that time might depend on airlines. This is my hypothesis.


Alternatively, Why don't you give birth in Nija and prepare another for Canada after even na to do am sharp sharp. [/quote





If you have all your documents ready, why don't you just apply this week and keep your fingers gross. While you start making search for doctor and accomdation. If you apply this week. Let's assume they give you in 4weeks time at most. That's 35weeks pregnant. You can still travel. A lot of women in the US thread travel at 36weeks though I wouldn't do it though. And if you don't meet up with the time, you can always use the visa for childbirth some other time. Start gathering your documents now. Go to the website today, fill the questionnaire and see the checklist of documents you will be asked to submit. All the best.

Guess this is online application. Did you input all the information yourself.

As I planned to start my application on Monday. Trying to decide which will be faster. Online or paper. I am 21 weeks already.

Thanks.


Someone has once said here before. She applied online. Filled in tourism as purpose of travel and indicated in her letter of explanation that she will also be using the visa for childbirth. You can also try it like this. From the last mail sent here, seem online application took about a month. So you can try online




That is not TRUE!!!

I just got my visa and for 4 years too! And in two weeks even!!
There are two options: you either specify it under purpose of visit and put OTHER and insert childbirth
Or if it’s an Online application to indicate it at point of entry. Most important thing is not to LIE

I'm already having headache reading this back and forth arguments abeg.

Like someone rightly said, their country, their decision. Afterall, if Nigeria was so stable why go through the stress of leaving your family, your comfortable house to fly with big belle for almost 17hrs to 24hrs depending on the airline, only to go and be a squatter in your hosts house and be trying to be in your best behavior for 2months or more? America is not even like the uk where you can move easily without help from someone, this one you go out only when they go out to save uber cost.

So please those who are advising we look for more expensive hospitals, in this present economy? So I will see hospital package of 5k then I will open eye to go and pay 15k because I want to please the VO? For goodness sake did I commit a crime by signing a hospital agreement?

Even the 5k sef is not convenient but most of us do this for the future of our kids not because we have one tree growing dollars (I pray for that kind of anointing this 2019). Not the one your child will want to study overseas tomorrow then they'll keep denying him/her for NO strong reason. If I give birth in Nigeria, I'll have hot pepper soup with fresh fish, I'll have people waiting on me 24/7 but for abroad who send you? If my country was better will I have to stress myself?

It's just unfortunate that a lot of people are getting denied this period on bases of previous childbirth. I wish everyone who needs to apply now success. Abeg, if you know any cheap hospital (3k sef) holla at me grin By God's grace, before I'll need to renew, VO's temper go don cool down.

Sorry for the loong rant Abeg.

Lol. I believe the tempers will cool. Give them till the end of the year or next year

From all I've read so far you can help yourself by doing the following:

1. Ensure you fill your Nigerian address for ALL documents not just Birth certificate please. Hospital records et all should have your Nigerian address. This may make it difficult for hospitals to apply for Medicaid on your behalf since it is obvious that you don't reside in America and cannot be entitled to Medicaid.

2. For now, you can go for a higher priced hospital because it seems to be what they are also considering to detect Medicaid fraud. I do not like this approach because I believe it is the government's responsibility to weed out Medicaid fraud and not yours, but it is what it is.

3. It is not a do or die affair. Trump has stated that he would try to stop birth tourism. Once that happens Nigerians will face another country even if the country na remote island in the middle of nowhere, Nigerians will reach there. We need to consider fixing this nation by fixing ourselves. We can't continue like this. Seriously.
Birth tourism for nigerians has been on for over 30 years now. When UK was granting citizenship by birth base on jos soli a lot of our parents were going there' to give birth. They bombar3ded the place till UK had to stop it. After stopping it, nigerians will still travel to UK and take buses to Ireland to give birth became Ireland was also granting citizenship by birth. Till those ones stopped it. This thing has been on and will continue as long as Nigeria remains the way it is. Until there's no where else to go give birth again.

Nobody can apply for Medicaid on anyone's behalf. You need to sign a consent form before Medicaid will be processed on anyone's behalf. I think the issue is most of this discounts are not suppose to be for international patients but those resident in America without insurance and who would be paying out of pocket. The hospitals knows this and look a way whether you are international patient or resident in the US. Now we all are going to pay for this howbeit innocently. I think the embassy is trying to discourage this hence the refusal with the discount excuse. If you eventually get your visa , you will be more careful with low price hospitals. There are a lot of hospitals in the US who do not have maternity packages. They only give you an estimate of whar your total bill will be like. The total bill comes after services has been rendered and they can give you a little discount like 2 or 3 percent discounts. So many hospitals like that in Maryland. Maybe going forward, those going for childbirth should start looking for hospitals like that

Good day all. I have an issue and I don't know if anyone here can help or has gone through same. Ice been tracking my passport online after I submitted for renewal. It changed yesterday to schedule a follow up appointment. But each time I try to schedule the appointment, it comes up with an SQL Exception error. I sent a message via my profile to them and after asking for my passport number, they later got back to me today to contact Lagos niv directly. I called one of the US visa lines this morning, and they said from their end, after checking my profile, that I haven't been asked to schedule any appointment. That I should send a mail to Lagos niv to clarify the error. That their system isn't showing I need to schedule an appointment. My passport is still with the embassy. Dhl said it hasn't gotten to them yet when I went there this morning to collect it. I have however sent the mail to lagos niv, no response yet though. but I'm wondering what could be wrong. Why this back and forth. Ceac website says my passport is still undergoing administrative processing. Any suggestions on what to do or I should just wait?

[quote author=gemcn post=64578616]why the rush? why can't they wait for the application filed by your elder brother to come through?
or is she not planning on coming back?

anyways, if there's no intended misuse of visa, she can travel with you. Just get a letter of consent from her parents. that should work.

but if they intend to misuse the visa, it may affect your own visa application in future

Thank you so much for your response. Regarding the application filed for them, they've been on the waiting list for years now. Over 6years . I heard it usually takes time. Some on waiting list for 10yrs bla bla. Anyway , the real question here is if they intend to misuse the visa and how it affects me. Stories might change when the visa is gotten . I've asked her if it's just visits or she has other things in mind , she said no. What if she comes later after visa gotten and says she wants her daughter to remain there schooling and all. Will it affect my future visa renewals?. Has anyone here expereinced something similar?.I think one has to think properly about this o , let me not enter one chance. Lol.

Long post alert!!!!!!!!.

Gurus in the house. Pls I need your advice on this matter. I'm a frequent flier to the Us and have a valid visa . Same as my husband. My younger sister recently suggested to me that she wants her daughter who is my niece to go to the US. I asked them to apply as a family but she's of the opinion that they might not be granted because they have a pending immigrant application filed by our elder brother on their behalf who is a us citizen.. So she's saying she wants her daughter to go visit this our brother and that I should help take her to the embassy and possibly travel with her if the visa is granted. The girl is about 11yrs old. I don't know how to go about this. The options are : should I apply for her and fill my details in as her sponsor and that she will be travelling with me. Or wait till my visa expires then both hubby and I can apply together with her as my niece who stays with me and we want to go on vacation with her as a family. (My own kids are citizens so they don't need a visa). Will the embassy ask for proof to show she's my niece or proof that she stays with us. I'm just confused. Or can her dad apply for her and state he's her sponsor. But won't the embassy ask who she will be travelling with considering she's a minor. What is the best possible way to go about this. Thanks
