Thank u jare. Leave her, let her be calling my name nd think something will happen.

marcuskens:
Well said @Hotstepper. I used to be active in the main "Canadian Student Visa Thread" before i got really busy. That thread is relatively successful because people come back to share their experiences. Thats the only way this one can stay active/vibrant "

Good, next time let it be an opinon and leave my name out of it. If I put up drs no here for everyone to see,how is it my problem that people do not come bk. We are people have problem already so each to their own. However, I am.not.going to do that work again of suffering to get a dr to post it here, afterall I am not the one in need of it. Expectant mothers and their spouse should do some work too so just maybe, people come.

Maybe the feedback will start from ur 3 personal friends.

Bluefin:
I am still of the opinion that no body will share their experience if they paid for the service to get the experience. They will feel like well i paid so and so to get the experience so others should go and pay also.

I'm sorry but this is just my opinion.

Please tell them ooo

Okolinneoma:
I think the reason why people don’t bother talking is because no one answers them when they ask questions. It’s only candybright and Hotstepper that tries to Atleast answer or suggest to newbies. There was a lady here who asked for assistance when she got a request letter, when I had same issue I personally asked her severally and she refused to answer, even other people asked her different questions about her application and she was rude to them.
If the sabi ones can learn to be open and help newbies, the thread will flow.

I am actually very upset to say the least and I will address ur issues in bullet points so it is clear just like i did months back when something like this happened. And after addressing this issue, I will never address it again even if it comes up 100 times after today.

1. US thread is moving as u want to believe cuz people who have gone comes back to give feedback, how many people do it here?

2. I have never presented myself as a Canada expert, people just believe that cuz I am in Canada and havr direct link to everything which I do not . If you have read this thread,I have put up information that I know etc and it is left for people to read the the thread. I am not here to babysit anyone cuz if information is important to u, it is either u or ur husband will take time to read nd also use google.

3. I am glad u said 3 ppl u know contacted me and never posted here? why didnt they post here? nd if they didnt post here, how did I get to offer them my service if they didnt write me? with the amount of emails I get, I can easily not reply but i do and as I always say to them, all info is on NL and googlr but if I am going to take out my time to do the job then it is not free.

4. As I said before wen someone lashed on me that she is a busy women so cant read nd all and I told her so me ehh I am.not busy. Let me say it again, I am a.wife and mother with a full time job with no.house help unlike most people. I have done my best to be active on this thread to provide information. The other part lies on you people who have come nd given birth to now give feedback.

5. I know how many people I have encouraged to give back to the thread but they refused saying they were not helpef during their own process so let everyone fend for themselves.

6. When you talk about my services, I do not advertise anywhere.or any social media cuz i do not even see it as a job . However, as Nigerians are lazy to.do the work they r seriously in need of, I will.not be taking out time to do thay job for free, I am.sorry. There r information online which is free and everyone has access to it. If they are to use agents in Nigeria, is it going to be free plus these agents r on here on NL taking info.

7. The drs I have provided here for nd the hospita.associated with them aint taking again, why? nobody knows ans nobody wants to find out yet they will reach out thinking I have drs handy I know. Let me say it here, I do.not know any drs and and if u contact me about dr, it is the same google.of which.i spend all my lunch time calling drs. So after spending this time calling drs nd say 1 is successful, shey I will give it for free. Everyone google and call.period. drs/hospitals r hard now cuz people come and not pay cuz they do not have the fund etc .

People run wen i say it is not free cuz those info they can find it themselves..Let everyone know now.since all fingers r posting at me that if u find urself in canada either witjout anybodys help or with an agent nd get stuck, plz always remember to figure it out urself using google or back to the agent u paid. Maybe then, Hotstpper's name will leave people's mouth.

Even people who have family and frienda here say those people.do.not wqnt to help or they have triee and nothing.So of these people have tried and nothing, what makea them think it is easy for me. It is the same google nd keep calling drs. I donnot put gun for anybody neck. I always say ask ur people, read NL and.google but If i am to do thay suffering then it aint free cuz it is not me that thr informstion is important to. I should not be doing all thr work for people and then they relax, where does that happen?

Hava great week.

Bluefin:
The différence between Canada and USA thread is that everybody brings their question on board. in this thread Hot stepper has presented herself as the canada expert so i suspect people just reach out to her for her service and she works with them directly- which in a way is not fair on the thread or growth of the thread. This thread is dying a natural death due to this.

The USA thread there is alot of information there because this kind of thing is not happening there.

Hotstepper please note that this is not in anyway to aggravate or upset you. It is just my humble true opinion and im sure if you are true to yourself you will agree. I personally know three people who have never posted here but you offered your service to them. Although none of which eventually used your service.

Apply for Emergency Travel Certificate

Good news awaits u this week I pray

Lol12:


I applied June 29 online
Did my biometrics on the 2nd of july
Got a change of status late july (eligibility review and background check in process. )
Now I just received a correspondence letter for the biometrics I did since july. Pls did anyone get this letter n how early or late please. so I can either just forget the process and focus on here. The long timing is really discouraging.

Welcome. Find an agent to use and also via facebook market. Good Luck

bumtoye11:
Good day People. My family landed in Canada 2 weeks ago and we are still in search of accommodation. We are currently at airbnb in brampton. Please I will appreciate ideas on how we can get 2 bedroom apartment in brampton/Mississauga/Burlington/Oakville

both canada nd US give automatic citizenship at birth

Bay1989:


I do want to find out too. In Miami I was told giving birth costs at about 10 000 us dollars. and what about Canada? i also know that in US they won't give your kid any citizenship, only when the kid is 18 years old and only after that age he/she can ask for citizenship.

I doubt if anyone will come forward to answer u unfortunately.

1. it does not matter hoe you applied, none has a priority so choose one that beat suits u.

2. You do not need IV from anyone to go to Canada. People use hotel reservation .

3. This one you have to read the thread and find the info or google the part of Canada you want to give birth and start contacting drs.

4. Some people stay with family and friends, some people get via airbnb and some use agenta so they are sure of what they are getting but thisbis aftee hey have gotten visa. For visa purporses, people do hotel reservation.

5. some have people they sty with, some come with their mums etc ..if you want to do nanny, have in mind thelis kind og service is not cheap in this part of the world.

I hope this helps

Laurieuc:
Hello people

please has anyone gone to Canada to give birth especially CS birth without knowing or having anyone over there? if yes:

how did you apply paper or online?
what did you do about the requirement of letter of invitation since you don't have anyone?
where is Canada did you give birth? details of hospital and doctor, cost
how did you get accommodation and the cost?
how did you help yourself any nanny or caregiver? since no one relative or friend to rely on for this

will be grateful if I get an answer

kudos @hotstepper and other who have been giving support from the beginning of this thread.

I wish people who has asked me this question personally came bk to give feedback. I can find information for you or your friend can aslo do that. simple good search of the hospital in the city she will be living at nd call them and ask as that is what ai will be doing.

Please everyone let us try and help ourselves....Internet is there also

urblackpearl:
Hello all, can you please advise a pregnant friend of mine relocating to ontario as PR. Is it possible that the hospital place her on installmental payment plan since she will not be immediately covered by the govt healthcare.

Please read the thread and you will see

Graceee:
I need a doctors contact and hospital in Canada please someone help!!!!

There is no private hospital in Canada

Graceee:

I meant general hospital (Public / state owned) hospitals in Canada

Yes

vitrendy4eva:
Wow. But this is just like a security deposit right? I'm guessing the balance should be refundable after your stay.

I do not understand your question. u mean general hospital in Naija?

Graceee:
Is it good to use a general hospital for birth tourism visa??
@ the gurus please assit...

I thought there is a place it says non citizens will havr to stay for 6 weeks before they can apply for babys docs

Beautyaddy:


Children born on US soil are still US citizens as long as their parents are not foreign diplomats.

Congratulations and thank u for coming bk to share with us. God bless.

I want to use this medium to inform furture mothers that hospitals here has changed, probably because of the experience they are having .

For example,Brampton Civic how reguire you to deposit 8000 CAD upon coming to the hospital so please let us be aware especially for those who borrow money to.do medical visa or those who cuz they do not havr enough fund apply for visiting visa.

As much as we all.hope for VA birth, anything can happen, thus why it is important to have more than enough in case of emegerncy .

Happy Sunday!

Sweetie12:

Oleayo22:

No ma.

BIG CONGRATULATIONS. I am so delighted hearing both news.

You can apply for your other kids when you are ready for vacation.

OakPearl:


People of God, I am back to give back.
So our sweet angel arrived gloriously in 9ja on Saturday, and the excitement is much more than a visa approval could bring.
While we were still rejoicing and enjoying the sweetness of her arrival, I got a mail from the embassy two days after she was born that we can submit our passport. I guess for visa approval ni.
Suddenly, we moved from a hopeless wait for a visa, to double celebration of both baby's safe delivery and visa approval. Chai!
We shall jejely submit and use visa for vacations beleful and possible future birth jor.
N/B: We stated in our application that it was for birthing by the way.
And though I had a valid US visa, wifey was refused US visa before we applied for Canada.
Submitted online application 7th June, biometrics done 11th June, request for passport received 20th August.
Please don't give up. Whether US denied you is not as important as being truthful and keeping hope alive, its a game of destiny.
I still wish all Canny Moma hopefuls here the best.

CC: Hotstepper
CC: Omobendel
Elders please how do I apply for our two kids to include them on our future vacation trip?
Pls help.

Do yoy have dr info for Calgary?

Oleayo22:

Where in Alberta? If in Edmonton, try Missericordia, GreyNun, etc.
Get your friend book help you book appointment with their family doctor if they have. It is the family doctor that will refer you to an obstetrician and you can use the hospital he/she is affiliated with.

No, nor worth it. buy them wen u come

egobetatoday:


Pls Claire18, do you think it's advisable to cargo rice cooker,deep fryer,halogen oven and all those other kitchen appliances to CND?

Medical visa since she wants to birth in Canada. she has to apply asap

kkkossy:
@hotstepper, I kindly need you advice. My wife intends to have a baby in Canada which would be around December, what type of visa can she apply for in other not to get rejected at the port of entry. Also her mum resides in Ontario and already obtained her PR. Obviously, accommodation is not an issue and she will be traveling alone. Looking forward to your reply.

u have to baptize them before they can enrol

mmanwanyi:
Please for folks in Mississauga and environs, the Catholic school in this area is telling me that I cannot enrol my kids in the school except they bring their Catholic Baptism certificate or my own catholic baptism certificate. Please do I have any other option apart from baptising these kids in a Catholic church or myself in order to get this certificate as I am not Catholic and I really want them to attend this school?

Stay with your sis.

Blooit004:
Good afternoon everyone, please I need advice.

My application crossed the 6months timeline about two weeks ago. Eligibility is met when I called to enquire about status last week so I'm hopeful I'll get the PPR mail anytime soon. I intend to buy my flight ticket as soon as I get my PPR mail hence the advise I seek..

Is it advisable to land in missisauga Ontario and stay temporarily with my younger sister and her family before getting my own accommodation and job, or I should go to a countryside...(say saskoon) to hustle and forge my own part without knowing anyone there yet? I'm a single 30year old health professional, will appreciate your advice.

1.Click on other and thrn specify medical
2. once ur babys BC is out,- u apply for babys passport etc nd off u go home

Soba2019:
Thank you for your response. Pls how do I apply for that? I have searched onl
ine and there is no different visa for medical. Secondly, how much time must I say post delivery before returning to Naija in order to return with Canadian passport for baby.
