Very uncalled for.



OmoBendel24:


.... That isn't just a good thing to do please, there's a tomorrow. Unless you have resolved not to come out of Canada again sha, this could boomerang! Why not prepare yourself and arm yourself with the financial resources and then do the necessary at the POE by telling them what you are there for?

At least, Canada ain't as 'wicked' as the US on this. It is bad enough you didn't declare childbirth in your application, but you could have straightened it all out at the POE. Unnecessary fear I tag this. Every aboki with his or kettle sha! All the best....

As an afterthought, and if I may ask too, do you intend to even pay bills for this birthing sef ni?

Welcome and glad all went well


Becca01:
Update:

Got to Canada- Toronto yesterday. I was pregnant when I applied and I stated visiting in my application.

POE

Asides my ticket, I did a reservation for 2 weeks Incase I was asked as I intended to declare I was traveling for only 2 weeks. I used makeup and dressed smartly (I don’t know if the POE officer knew I was pregnant or not) I was asked the following questions:

Where will I be staying? For how long? If this was my first time? And then I declared some food stuffs I brought as well. That was all.

Good afternoon house..Please I need you candid advice. Am applying for a visit visa today and my EDD is middle of July. Since I don't know how long it processing will take, should I indicate that am going to have a baby there or I should just leave at visiting. Thank you for your prompt reply...Am a little confused because of the time frame.
Travel / Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Hotstepper(f): 3:17pm On May 30, 2018
Sorry to hear that. I would say to apply asap cuz 6 months means ur wife will birth in Naija.

Good luck

Hi guys,

Plenty accolades to the persons who have given relentless support to the Nigerian human race on the thread.

I need a lil assistance. My wife was rejected by US embassy in March this year while we were embarking on Honeymoon to Miami (I dnt knw why). I have been to Houston before. So plans changed. We visited the Maldives and Dubai thereafter.

We are planning birth tourism to US or Canada, Canada prioritized (my agent said we have to wait for 6 months before re applying to the US). She's in her fourth month, EDD is October ending.

Could someone please advise us on how best to go about the Canada visa matter based on what is currently obtainable. I have read some stuffs and I acknowledge dat somethings are changing..

I am open to suggestions.

God bless.

Were u preggy when you applied and got the visa?



FamilyforE4:
Hello everyone!
Please, I need your adviser, I was giving 5yrs Canadian visit visa, and I intend to give birth later this year.its ok for me to write to the embassy telling them about my intentions. Or should I wait and declare it at the point of entrance.

Thanks @hotstepper

A friend of mine suggested birth center. Do you know anything about those?



Travel / Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Hotstepper(f): 12:11pm On May 24, 2018
The thread must not suffer and for it not to suffer, people has to come bk and give feed back and thats what is keeping the US going.

People get info here, come nd have the baby and leave wirhout coming bk to give feedback.

If this is all.about biz, trust me,the time and energy I invest here i wouldnt have or even the nos i drop here. Some information I find and update here, I dont need it but i still drop it.

And I am going ro say it here again, if u r leaving Nigeria to have a baby abroad, please come with more than enough money nd not say i have a budget of this and that. If you have a budget,please make sure u must have gotten a dr etc within ur budget before u come.so that u will not be spoiling other people's chance.




OmoBendel24:


As long as this isn't primarily about business for you like I believe, I will advocate and plead for you not to go this route. Be of help to the general thread consistently even much more than as before (this attitude is what keeps the US thread going and thick), I understand there are times one will have to accept and allow private messaging, but the thread must not suffer at all.

You have done a lot of good job here, keep at it and stay as much as you can within the acceptable ambit as set by moderator Justwise, you should understand he's protecting the good of the majority and by extension all.... You know we love you, right? Much appreciation!

aquaboss11:
Hey @hotstepper and all you guys helping out here. I read through all your post before applying for Canadian Visa in March. I'm surprised to read through the update about difficulty getting a doctor.

We applied through the online route and after 38 days got a passport submission request. The first part haven't been accomplished, over to the second part.

Can anyone suggest the best option to get a doctor, my wife has free accommodation in Ottawa. Any recommendation or suggestion around the area.
Also should i be bothered about the POE experience as we didn't state anything about childbirth in the visa application?

Can anyone help me with these questions

The person I asked to message me had messaged me before nd i mistakenly deleted the mail and funny enough hes the one that has been updating the jouse about his journey so far.

Its hard to please eveeyone. In this junction, please eveeyone should do with whats here nd hope people who has gone through the process will come nd update.

I have covered all nd dropped imp. nos so people should help themselves.

Dr nos r here nd ppl xan drop their own nos
how to go about babies docs is here

@Hotstepper,

You have posted alot of valuable information that helped alot in the past, but i'm surprised at the way you react to questions now. I have asked alot of questions that you clearly ignored and then someone asked an important question that the answer would have been useful to us all, you asked the person to send you a private message instead. Why? @justwise is doing alot of great work on the US side. We can all grow this one and still do lil biz at the same time.

Travel / Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Hotstepper(f): 5:56am On May 24, 2018
I dont understand ooo. I post information here nd yet ppl still message me nd i still tell them ro go bk to the forum to read nd ask questions so people can benefit as well.

I still would have messaged him without telling him to message me on the forum cuz he aaid he messaged me

Some.ppl who has given birth still didnt come bk ro update the house nd all.

u will not see where i posted visa on arrival entry for Nigeria. It is not my job to be finding these info, afterall, i dont need it.

Yea US own is going but that doesnt me ppl dont use agent. Please each to their own. if it comes to like this, everyone to their own. NL does not pay me foe info i post here

I just tire jare

justwise:


You are killing this thread as you have turned it to your business office.

The US birth thread grows because people at large share a great deal of information openly but over the years you have done the opposite.

It has to stop

congrats..safe delivery



quote author=manlikegb post=67755752]UPDATE.

So we(hubby & wife) entered Canada yesterday. POE experience was smooth. Automated machine didn't work well for us so we proceeded to the Immigration officer's counter and told him the machine didn't work for us. He said its ok and asked us a few questions like;
Why are we here in Canada? Vacation and Childbirth
When are you due? July.
Have you made arrangements with an hospital? Yes
Any meat products? No
Tobacco? Yes a few packs.
How long will you be staying in Canada for? 2months plus.

Then he filled a yellow paper and wished us all the best and to proceed inside and show them the card. The guy we met at the next entrance, saw the yellow card and showed us to the right(an office with other people on the queue). We joined the queue and waited for our turn. It was a lady officer who asked us other random questions like the ones above, then asked how much money we have with us and all. Told her and asked if she wants to see it, but she said no need. Did fingerprints, and stamped us in. Then straight to baggage claim. Even the few food items we traveled with was not even checked.

Now we're at our host's at Brampton. Thank God for everything.

cococ1:
Please can anyone help me. Totally new and confused on how to make our Canada trip. I am taking my wife to have a baby in Canada and so far all I have done is to secure a visa. I have read quite a lot on this trend but still confused. I have no family or friend in Canada so will be lodging for the period it will take. Our first child was born in the USA and it was much easier die to family. My questions are:
Is there an arrangement that include total package for hospital and accommodation.
Which city or province will be the cheap eat for us in English speaking parts.
What hurdles should we anticipate with immigration at Port of entry.
Can anybody give me a number of someone I can call for help or as business in canada.
I must say that this trend is a blessing.
Finally I see many people say they indicated the want to have a baby before getting a visa but I didn't see that option in the online visa application form I filled.

Hi guys, I currently reside in dubai(working), I got married last year and i was able to bring my wife also to dubai(working also). Now she is back in Nigeria because we are expecting our first child, hospital bills in dubai no be beans, so she had to leave.

NOw am thinking of processing another country Canada/USA or any other country where I can settle with my wife. As a family person, dubai is not a place to be.

Another update! Another stress free finding I found out.

Now instead of getting naija passport or travel document from here, u can just get Visa on Arrival for the newborn. Its a new service Naija started .

https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/VisaArrivalProgram/freshVisaOnArrivalProgram

Make sure to use a desktop or laptop.

And yes, i know someone that used it last week so it works and they are in Naija now without hassle .

As you guys can see, I am not a lazy Nigerian youth and deserve some accolade smiley

Thanks so much for your offer Hotstepper. God bless; Sending wifey back will be last resort of course but if all fails and for her and baby safety and reduce risk if no hospital or Dr is got, I will have to send her back as she can successfully give birth back home as well.

If i remember well you are in Missisigua / Toronto?
And will you be able to organize accommodation for us to rent?
And get us a doctor and hospital?

We will look at the Ottawa option as well in the meantime.
