Okay I don’t know if this is derailing from the topic but i know it will help someone.
Last two years December (2017) i went to the US to have my baby.
My visa was due to expire December 13. My baby was due to be delivered December 10... my question then was should i risk it and travel? What if they send me back ( because they do check all the papers or Atleast ask you all the questions)
Anyway to cut the long story short! I did travel they stamped me 6 months extra! I travelled in october.

Good! Since your visa hasn't expired then, you would be allowed with good reasons.

Hello Nlders and the gurus in the house.

Please i would like to ask a question. If one just got a visa, intending date of travel is May, and the passport is expiring in June. Please what do i do? do i need to get a new passport before travel, and if that is the case, the old passport would have been cancelled with out prejudice, does this affect the valid visa in it? please advise on how to approach this.

thank you.

get a new passport; your visa is valid.

Am so confused because my bill is 7k as well but is because I just spend a night and I skipped epidural don’t even know wat to do

Don't do anything. You will be fine for future. Don't give yourself unnecessary headache.


Who knows, things can change quickly.

My sister the thing tire me o
As in am so scared i joined henrico band wagon news on d street is if your bill is less than 10k dont apply except its holiday not child birth.
I dont know if it stupid to actually call now and pay it up to 10k
Am having a real headache
My friend ended up with a 25k bill her baby had jaundice she even did payment plan the vo was so happy with her ,i was consoling her then o now i donno if i shud be jealous of her bill lol.....hmmm

na bros o. Am just being curious as some of our mothers here are very scared going for interview.

I am a bit curious. I am wondering whether those that are now being rejected didn't show their budget sheets. At least the budget sheets would have shown they would pay less than 10k. Or did our mamas go there with high bills and change later? Really, I can't phantom these issues with less than 10k.

Nonkala:
Pls if one wants to reapply, can u use same application no on ds 160 or u must fill Ds 160 afresh before scheduling an appointment

Fill a fresh one.

Supernatural198:
Good Day everyone,pls i need help o,finally am about to submit my application today but i cant login i to my account,keep saying technical issues,pls is anyone experiencing this?

Check later. No need to panic. It's from their end. Check later.

As with most clinics, payment is needed to receive any documentation. At times, the embassy calls to verify your information, cost, and appointment, if you are not enrolled, nobody can confirm what you are telling the officer.

Does the $150 registration fee cover the documentations provided or is there extra fee for that?

cannyC:
Please I am currently 5weeks pregnant and want to give birth in Canada.

My husband is a Canadian citizen and instead of PR applications, is considering putting in visiting first before PR, to ensure am there before delivery (since PR applications take up to a year to go through).

The issue now is my bank statement, it doesn't show constant stream of income as the business am doing now is still on the start level. I also have the business registered but haven't opened a separate account for it yet and hence no good statement from it. For this reason we are considering leaving our son behind as ties to Nigeria, but don't know if it's enough.

Note that my husband will be sponsoring the visit and hence has his account details, insurance and the rest ready. Is his account details enough to compensate mine?

A friend is recommending i use fabricated bank details, I am currently too scared to consider it, as I do not know it's implications and wouldn't want any dent on my reputation/history with them

That's a bad friend. Run from her.

The choice is yours. However, I don't see any need for the rush. since your husband is a citizen, he can bring you, your son and the new baby you are expecting. don't jeopardize your future plans with fake documentations. Is your husband a PR or a citizen?

passionup:
What of people that had done their biometric about 2 years ago and don't have any letter? Would they need to undertake a new biometric process if they intend to renew their visa now?

Your biometric valids for 10 years

Apologies for the long post. I have been following this thread for a while and I would like to share my visa story. As soon as I got pregnant Q3, 2018, I decided to give Canada a try as my USA visa was going to expire at the end of the year and I also travel a lot for work so I couldn’t afford to drop my passport for an extended period of time.

I submitted my online application on the 9th of November in the country where I work (mainly because they have a processing period of 16 days). These are the supporting documents that I recall submitting;
Marriage certificate
Change of name
Employment letter
Work ID card
Letter of introduction from my office
3 months payslips
Statement of account (about $20k at the time)
Shares statement(about $11k although value has dropped now)
International insurance letter of introduction
Letter of invitation from my friend
Letter of explanation
Past medical reports from nigeria

I chose ‘Others’ and stated medical tourism in my online application. In my letter of explanation, I also stated that the sole purpose of visit was childbirth. I however found out after submission that there was no biometric center in that country so I had to wait till I returned to Nigeria in December where I eventually did my biometrics on the 10th of December, 2018.

On the 21st of December, I received a letter from the Embassy stating that I will need to replace my letter of invitation with one from a doctor or hospital stating availability and cost. I believe I sort help from here but didn’t get much feedback. After trying for days to get a letter of invitation, I decided to just write another letter of explanation stating my appointment details and cost. I also got my insurance to send a guarantee of payment to my hospital of choice. ( I attached this document to my LOE)

On the 24th of January 2019, My visa application was approved and I was asked to submit my passport.

Congratulations!! Thanks for these details.

ifechez:
Please I got a mail from CIC/VFS that my passport is ready for collection. Does it mean I have been granted visa? I applied for tourist/visiting visa.

Were you asked to submit passport before? If yes, then you have been granted.

GarciaEvans:
Please what’s form A?

And what’s possibly delaying cbn??

Only CBN can answer this. Go to any commercial bank. Tell them what you want, they will give you the form.

Iboloh:

Pls does anyone know the process of applying for a Turkish Tourist visa

If you hold a valid UK, US, Canada visa, you can apply online.

seunhandsome:
Dear all, typically, how many years/month visa does Canada give to prospective Nigerian visitors ? is the principle of reciprocity at work, pegging it to maximum of two years just like that of the US. I received a notification to submit my original passport. My passport expires in November 2019 but i sincerely covert the 10 years visa or atleast 5 years multiple Visa. Answers are needed please.

unfortunately, your visa wont be valid beyond the validity of your passport. So you might get less than a year.

Aresej:

I don't know if this is the right thing to tick because I did not see options for that purpose.Thanks all

Hello all,

Got in on Tuesday. Got visitors visa (wasn't pregnant when i applied but sent a letter to the embassy). POE was tough but was stamped in for 6 months.
Now i am in a fix, the doctor i got is in Scarborough but i'm now living in Missisauga (Milton).

Please can anyone assist with a doctor close to Mississauga ?

I've tried getting but yet to see any willing to accept me.

Your urgent response is appreciated

Was this helpful in any way?

Is it a must for someone to have a travel history before a usa visa can be granted?.i have applied for b1/b2 visa for my family of one kid i gat a respectable job and my wife too the destination is disney world in orlando florida hotel fully booked.i intended to spend 10days for vacation and shopping and return to resume work cos i will be using my leave for the trip..bur i and my wife carries virgin p interview date is fast approaching!i will appreciate @ seyewest and @justwise if u can dm me for proper identification wich i cant do on here cos of security reason!Thanks

It does help as it shows your past travelling sincerity with your visas. However, that alone doesn't guarrantee granting you Visa. There are other factors the VO considers viz a viz your socio-economic ties.

Goodluck!

DUPSYSPARKLE:
Please for those that have successfully gotten their Visa's did you get a validity of biometric mail with an attachment that shows how long your biometric is valid for before getting your visa.

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

sexyjob:
Well done ladies and gents, so I want to ask. If one gets stamp in for 6 months in US or Canada and leaves after a week and return again within the 6 months do one get a fresh stamp or the old one would be used? We got stamped in for 6 months(up till August) and we will leave for a US interview in Nigeria and return to Canada or go to US connecting through Canada. How does it go? fresh stamp? Just curious.

You have exited, you will be stamped in again

Hotstepper:
Thank you for making it clear. so everyone take note. I hope you got the visa

Sure. She did. Sometimes last year.

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

Not necessarily true. Applications are treated anywhere in the world. From the US, to Canada to London to Kenya etc. Other applications are also treated in Nigeria.

conyema12:
Good evening all. Please I would love to know my chances of getting a Canadian visa as a father whose wife is going for child birth.

She already has a visa and had been there before now for first delivery. However I was occupied with work that period. I do not know how compelling it would be by using my wife's delivery as a reason for travel.

I have a very strong home tie in UAE as my country of residence where I currently work as a Petroleum Engr.
Thanks

Nobody can predict your chance. Just apply for tourism. Your job is a tie in UAE.

Supernatural198:
Good morning everyone,pls i need help with this,i have been unable to download this IMM5257 form for application ..pls what can i do

Right click and save it to your desktop first. then open it after that.

[quote author=Globc post=75215179][/quote]Click on her profile. You will see her transcript from her posts. However, she said she didn't see anything like birthing, just visiting. So she chose visiting.

Let your husband be the main applicant considering his travel history and valid US visa. If you dont state it in your application, you must be truthful at the POE. Give it a try, you never can tell. If you can get all needed documents, submit your application today.


Good luck
