amnotapervert: This one is not the regular question I see everyday but I will try from my little understanding and people can correct me if I am wrong
First of all, congratulations on both your admission and your pregnancy
we need to break your question into 3 sections and look at it from the side of someone that is new to Canada with a child
1. Medicals and pregnancy
No, pregnancy itself won’t “flag” you in a bad way.
Pregnancy is not a ground for refusal and it won’t negatively affect your application. During immigration medicals, the only difference is usually around the chest X-ray. You can either postpone it until after delivery or do it with proper shielding if you consent. Many women complete their medicals while pregnant without issues. but for school I have not seen yet mostly Visitor Visa or PR I have seen.
2. Airline travel while pregnant
Airlines generally allow travel: Up to 28 weeks with no issue or 28–36 weeks with a doctor’s note or After 36 weeks, most airlines won’t allow boarding https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/committee-opinion/articles/2018/08/air-travel-during-pregnancy
If your EDD is in September and classes also resume in September, you may be very close to full term. Even if an airline allows it, long-haul travel that late in pregnancy can be uncomfortable and medically risky. except you want to give birth to the child on the plan or in Canada hahahah
3. Other options besides deferring
Aside from deferring (which is honestly the safest and least stressful option), you could:
Ask your school if late arrival is possible. normally school will say max 2 weeks which is not possible as you can not leave a 2 weeks child and come to Canada to school
you can Check if any initial courses can be taken remotely.
Travel earlier (if permitted) and settle before 32–34 weeks but then you need to consider healthcare coverage and delivery costs which without a health card and maybe your school insurance would have not kicked in then is expensive $$$$$$$$$ so that’s something to think about carefully.
Cost of delivery with out insurance from school and no health card is about $17,000 CAD
In all honesty, if your start date and EDD are the same month, deferring to the next intake might give you peace of mind.
You will avoid travel stress, delivery in a new country without support, and starting classes immediately with a newborn will break you down quickly.
Wishing you all the best as you decide and congrats again Thank you for your insight |

Good evening gurus,
I applied for admission in December and later found out in January that I'm pregnant with EDD of September. Apparently my classes will resume in September.
Other than the option of deferring the admission, which I'm sure I'll get, what other options are available to me.
My concern is if the pregnancy will be flagged during medicals and even if it isn't, will the airline lift a heavily pregnant woman. |

Did you read this part "KPMG has pinpointed 31 critical problem areas, from drafting errors to glaring policy contradictions and administrative gaps"?

Antoeni: As a Benin man or someone residing in Benin, you should never say anything against the Oba. Anyone conversant with Bini recent History will know that the Patriach of the Obaseki family was said to have betrayed the Oba of Benin in his time. Even Governor Obaseki was also seemly antagonist to the Revered stool of the Oba of Benin. Abi na Curse? Youths hand go touch am shaa. I hope Oba forgives him
Oba ato kpee!!! This bullocks is exactly why the civilized world think that Africans live under the rocks. Who is the Oba that he can't be criticized? Is he God? Even the POTUS is criticized and mocked daily. The Queen and King of England same and somehow a third world local champion king is untouchable? Can these thugs do these to Bello- Osagie or an Igbinedion? Same thing applies to the Muslims who are quick to enforce their useless sharia on the weak and poor, but turn a blind eye when the high and mighty commit same haram. Bullshit |

Fun Fact-There are many men out there that are ready to settle down with Doris ogala presently. And what about the shameless so-called pastor? I would never understand why we have an accountability problem as Nigerians. Same way most of you were supporting Harrison, claiming he was helping the kidnapped person.

I always wonder the kind of politics that happen in Nigeria and why public office holders often hold on to sits even when their tenure expire.
I can't imagine a single political party in Nigeria today that doesn't have leadership crisis. Mostly stemming from issues around tenure. Most political parties have factions which is always causes by leadership tussle.
Is it a lack of laws or lack of interpretations of them?
Same thing happens in public service where upon retirement, people refuse to exit their office. |

Politics › Re: Zones That Have Access To Water Supply, From Top To Bottom by ColdHunter(f): 9:51am On Dec 10, 2025 |
I think I can understand why this may be so.
In the South East, most households drill their own borehole due to little to no government provision for water distribution or a failed water board system. Also, you don't need to go very deep in the SE to get clean water, except in Enugu state where the terrain makes it difficult.
While in the SW especially Lagos, the cost of industrial drilling to enable clean water and the likely treatment setup that must follow due to bad unclean water levels will discourage anyone from drilling. |

Please has anyone ever applied to an Msc at Mount Saint Vincent University and got admitted.
Their process is quite confusing.
First, on the website, it says Nigerian applicant should send a mail to a certain Email address which I did and after several follow ups, it was replied and I was told to send in some documents.
After sending the documents, I received another email with a link to setup a university email.
Now the confusing part is that I didn't do the application myself, neither did I pay any application fee. |
