Dear all,

I have been a silent follower of this thread but I am out today since the US has become unfortunate to themselves as if is not the money that I am spending in their country. I don't know why they are restricting date for Dropbox. The date I got is very close to my edd so I am trying my luck on Canada application

Please @hotstepper, well done on the good job doing here.

Please, I saw that someone needs to invite me. Is that a must that someone must invite me? please enlighten me biko. Also, if you don't mind, can I get a preview or format for invitation letter used. Please I can PM anyone for that

Thank you

The mail is just to confirm the receipt of your biometric; it has nothing to do with granting visa or denial. Canadian biometric is valid for 10yrs

goldee29:
Yes, you get a Letter confirming the validity of your Biometircs for 10 years once same is received at the VFS centre. Your visa approval or otherwise will come much later upon reaching a decision.

Hotstepper:
Paper is done is Naija bur i think it takes time that is why I said one can do it if u have the time .

I sincerely hope either US or Canada wi work for u


Paper is not necessarily done in Naija, if you submit in Lagos, they take your application to Nairobi kenya at least for the ones i have seen.If you check VFS tracking platform you would see if you submitted in lagos and your tracking no begins with CALA, that CALA is for kenya.

I hope the Us works too.

Hotstepper:
Hello Everyone! Happy New Year. I hope everyone is doing great.

I said I was going to clear up some things since it is becoming rampant with mums who come in to have their babies.

I know there are agents in Nigeria who are in this thread who get people from here as clients and there is nothing wrong with but but please try and paint a better picture.

Now my observation plus experience from mothers who came in nd reached out to me, thus why I decided to take out time to clear up issues. It is 8:45pm Eastern Time.

1.Make sure you can comfortably sponsor your childbirth trip.

2. Please Canada is NOT US. You can see my "NOT" is all in Capital. Please if you are not ready for Canada, stick to the US. They are 2 diff countries with 2 diff policies. While US is a Capitalist country, Canada is a Social Welfare State. Canada has free medical and US does not so Canada has a one -tier health care system. Drs here can do without international patients and be very fine.

3. Let no agent tell you that you can have a baby in Canada plus accomodation, omugwo, pick up nd drop off for 6000 CAD..7000 sef will not be enough.

4. If you are going with an agent in Nigeria who probably has not been to Canada ( most of them now add Canada to their plan cuz Canada is now hot for childbirth),make sure u know exactly what their services cover. Alot of things I did in 2018, I will not repeat it in 2019. If ur agent in Nigeria just collects ur money nd u come nd what u r told is not what u see,please manage it like that nd try and speak up so others will learn .

5. budeget atleast 1000/1500 for accomodation cuz it depends in the city u live in. Canada is very large so getting from point A to B is far. Toronto is like lagos, even if say u get a dr for 1500, ur accomodation might be the same price or more and that is if you see. I know someone who paid 80 dollars a day on Airbnb nd couldnt cope after 2 weeks then contacted me and I know how i tried to find acxomodation for her.

6. If you are aware you are preggy, please try and start yoir visa application on time. most people says they travelved at 36 weeks to the US plz dont try it for Canada unless it is really not ur fault cuz its war finding drs on a normal day then imagine at these stage of ur pregnancy.

7. If you are coming with kids,please most times do ot expect to be in 1 bedroom in somebody's house. Also have in mind thar even the no of people renting a place, determins the cost cuz landlord will factor light nd water bill and that is if you find as most people do not like taking people with little kida esp if he or sge lives in the house. Also, if you MIL, Mum or hubby will not be around,make sure u have arrangement for someobe who will look after the kids while u head to the hopsital. DO NOT DEPEND ON UR HOST U MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW. You cannot take the kids to the hospital with u because there are changes they will be taken away from u. Saying this cuz it almost happened to someone 3 or 4 months ago. I knoe someone that her hubby had to buy last min flight cuz of the condition of his family and had to lodge them in a hotel until they left canada so you can imagine

8. Do not be in a hurry to go and if you may,then u must start ur documentations on time, right away .

Enjoy ur week .

Thanks to all the contributors on this thread, the info here is invaluable. Here's how it went for us:
Submitted online application with hubby as PA: November 13th 2019
Biometrics Enrolment: November 15th 2019
Original passport request: December 4th 2019

Vacation and birth tourism were our reasons for applying. Got lots of info from here and dove into the application right away, just so grateful to God that we had our application processed quite quickly.

All the best folks.
