Hotstepper:
Consent letter for what exactly?if it is for your wife to travel with your child to Nigeria, you do not need to.

Congratulations!

Hello all,

My wife has given birth in canada and I want to know if I need to book an appointment at the canadian consulate office for consent letter since i am not travelling or I just drive down to the office without any appointment?.

Hotstepper:
Kai....who gave u this yeye advise ooo....
I do not know how a name can be added cuz certificate is soemthing that is printed ( this question is part of what u should have asked the pereon who gave u this info) ..So it is either she calls and cancel nd reapply with both of of u. So this romote place u work, there is no car or boat that can take u to town to get to lagos or abj for the signing?

Now what i do not know if there is anything that will be required of u to do if she goes ahead to apply for passport as a single parent. Maybe a letter of consent nd all

1. It usually take 7 working days unless there is plenty applications. she can try and call them.
2. There is no really quick way so i alwqys advise ppl to give ample time atleast 1 month after birth to make sure everything will be out. Now since birth certificate is not out nd mistake don happen, it is back to square 1

some answers I found...

All Canadian children, from newborns to age 16, require a passport to travel. Only a parent with legal custody of achild may apply for that child's passport, although both parents must sign the application form.

Exceptions to the Dual-Parent Signature Rule. ... If only one parent is listed on the child'sbirth certificate, then two signatures are not required. If you have sole custody of yourchild, submit the court order establishing custody along with your child's passport application

So in a nutshell, there will be a.legal document for her yo submit to provr she has sole custody

I work on the sea, so it is difficult to have access to land at a certain period. we called them to cancel but they said once you submit the form you cant cancel. The person on call said once she receives the certificate she should call again that they will give her a form to send to me to fill and send back to them. It is based on the content of the form that they can now add me to the birth certificate.

The person that advice me said he wasnt also available and his wife filed for the certificate as a single mom. when she came to nigeria, he now sent a notorized document for him to be added to the certificate. They created a new certificate for them and sent it to the specified address in canada.

Please I would need info about the processing of my baby's document after delivering in ontario Canada. I will appreciate if the below answers can be answered. I know @hotstepper really helps out alot. My wife is in canada and when she applied for the birth certificate, she stated that she was a single mother because I work in a remote location and I cant go to the canadian embassy in nigeria( This was based on advice that I can add my name to the birth certificate later on).
On the canadian website, it is stated that the birth certificate will take 15 working days and we cant expedite it(we called the customer care and they said the same thing). we have just 17 days left on her return ticket.

1. Does anybody know the process of adding my name to the birth certificate?
2. How do I get his canadian passport and nigerian passport with in a short time ?
3. Has anybody experienced this 15 working days delay in birth certificate in ontario canada?

kindly advice.
