Lakomsy:
Hi Everyone, I am currently applying for visa via online.

Where you have what's the main purpose of visit. I selected others as advise on the group but I can't find where to add additional information which will state vacation and birth tourism.


Secondly, There a question that says do you depend on someone for financial support. I said yes since my husband and I will be Sponsoring the trip. I am the main applicant. I don't know if my answer is right or wrong.

Please assist if you have used the online application..

Pls who can put me tru ds , been having challenges for days downloading ds IMM forms. Only 5713 on family representative opens.
I downloaded d latest adobe acrobat DC, yet I stl get dos messages. very urgent cos ve already printed my stmts

chikos:
Hello house, is it a must that one should generate reference number before proceeding with the application?

Aunt pls my response is not an attack.. someone wants to share and I said pls share not even for my sake. A lot of pple are novice here and r stl confused on how to start even if u read from beginning to d end u may not be really clear about ds. Some preggy pple re working and may not have helps, dr days re really tight, if am privileged to respond , I wl stl respond if I come around post not making d person feel like a lazy being or illiterate. I ve never asked about anyone’s contact for now. I ve found a way tru whatever I asked dt was not replied cos am not an illiterate.. sometimes u just neglect or respond in love.. what’s d big deal in giving d contact dn advising d person shd google..dt time u wld use and hurt someone’s mind dt d person shd read for on d beginning for a simple response, it’s as good as not responding.
Am new here and a lot of pple ve sent me mails, all I do is to tell u what I tnk I know and stl get back to u wen I get info..my response is not personal..tks all d same

Hotstepper:
we really surprise eachother nd that is why it seems nothing is working. This the same dr, his no has been dropped here atleast 3 times nd the last one I did it maybe in 3 or 4 page back.

My dear, when u need something, u make an effort to get it nd not wait around for someone to drop it. If we r all waiting for someone to drop it, we wont be here. How long abi days now have u been waiting for someone to drop it, something that one click in google will bring out the info.

The time u used in typing this ur reply that sounded like an attack, u would have gotten the contact. Oya continue to wait na or US thread will get it for u since there is love nd scarifice there.

Note: unlike ur believe, this thread does not hide anything, only that u have refused to bring out time and read the thread nd gather all the info u need then come bk and ask any confusing questions.

Me that comes here to answer questions plus the offline messages, I can as well not even do it but I still come to see if there r new questions and all. We r all learning ooo so me sha in 2019 will.not repeat myself PERIOD.

Let us be waiting for the summarizers that will probably not come to the thread again until they r stuck doing one thing. We need to help eachother to grow.

Good Luck

There is equally nothing wrong if someone shares info since she mentioned it.. we don’t ve to all search or google.. it may be fast or easy for u cos u re already used to ds, not for a novice

ds forum hides a lot of info unlike d US forum where u see love and sacrifice, someone can just summarize
Rmbr pregnancy is not same for everybody and it can never be easy to start reading from d beginning

Hotstepper:
just a google search nf u get it

hmmm

Pls for those dt picked birth tourism, where did I see it, cos when I even picked others there was no space to notify birth tourism..

fruitfulie:
Purplerain i have tried reaching you but seem like i couldn't get to private chat with you. My email is tmpeloye@yahoo.com. Thanks

have u gotten Accomodation yet?


Good morning my sister. I am due in May and at this point I am really getting worked up. I am seriously fighting anxiety.

My lilttle brother is a PR and I do not in anyway wish to implicate him by not fully declaring I am coming to give birth. He is aware of my stand but he feels declaring it may hinder my chances.

I would like to find out the following

Have you gotten your Visa...
Are you travelling with your family...
Is it possible to fill vacation and birth tourism on a single application form. If no how best can I indicate my main intention of giving birth.
Have you gotten your reserved flight ticket without payment.
Can you share your budget sheet and statement of purpose with me.

Pls share, tks

Shilohzmum:
Travelling this Jan...do u still need Dr Ted's number?

Info

Pls wts d min bal to fund an acc stmt..someone told me 8m. Is 3m not enough or shd I leave out birthing and just state vacation.
Is a lump sum suspicious.
Is it better I use my acc as a salary earner or use husband as sponsor since we can raise his stmt as a business man.

What I read here is it’s relative so I want dos dt had less funds to reply my chances

Anybody dt offers hotel reservation service pls answer.

Thanks

I had my first in the US and had a valid visa. So when I took in a second time I was ready to travel but on the second thought I wanted to spend a while in the country and decided to renew before traveling lo and behold I was denied.
Fast forward to applying for a Canadian visa within a space of 2 months before it won't be safe to fly. We filled the form went to drop it off and ended up spending the whole day because of a lot of mistakes. To be clear we declared birth tourism, admitted to being rejected a visa for US and attached so many documents. Prayed and kept our fingers crossed while making arrangements that worst case baby would be born in Nigeria (after all I was born here).
To our greatest surprise 20 days later got the email for pick up and visa was approved.
The Search began.
At this point we didn't have any information and the thread was not as informative as I wanted (yes I like eating my cake easily ). However we had family in Saskatchewan but when I heard the flight time,weather, no doctor was responding to my emails or calls, rejecting international patients and the family had so much going on in their life, I decided to look elsewhere.
I visited a maternity service provider here and she sounded nice also showed me her package for Ontario which looked reasonable to me.the big huddle was getting my hubby to agree to which he had his skepticism. He did a lot of research called and emailed a lot of doctors in the Ontario area mind u unlike the US system where anyone can have access to gynecologists the case is different for the Canada system. You would need to get a referral from a family doctor after the first 3 months before a gynecologist would accept you. So we had that challenge however we were able to get 3 doctors to give a partial acceptance, send their bill via email but only one was willing to give an appointment date.
Looking for accommodation became the next problem most homeowners didn't want a pregnant foreign woman without ties in their home and Airbnb we couldn't get any child friendly at a reasonable price.
Fast forward to the night before our flight, I was able to get my husband partial consent to engage the service provider here. I paid her that night and got her agent's name and number.
THE JOURNEY BEGAN.
Left Nigeria had a 12 hour layover and got into Canada. Filled the landing card,used the automated machine and proceeded to the immigration officer. The conversation was as follows
Me:Good evening.
Officer:Good evening. Welcome to Canada. Can I have your passport.
She went through and was like what are you in Canada for.
Me: to give birth.
She paused looked at me and typed something in her computer.
Officer: looking at my landing card. She was like u have an excess of 10k canadia dollars in cash.
Me:no some cash,most in cards.
Officer: then you don't have an excess of 10k.
Me: Sorry.
Officer: Do you know that its very expensive giving birth here and do you have a doctor.
Me: yes and I came financially prepared based on my research. I also have 3 doctors shortlisted and willing to accept me once am in the country . I would settle based on final cost reduction.
Officer: types and handed over passport. Congratulations in advance (with a smile).
Went to a hotel cooled off,slept,showered and ate.
Moved into the accommodation arranged by the service provider (story for another day).Used a doctor in Toronto arranged by the service provider
COST BREAKDOWN.
Doctor :1320
Doctor visit: 30$ per visit(had a total of 5)
Hospital mother: 2620(per day)
Hospital baby:850(per day)
To be paid in full before delivery day.
Ended up having a CS so paid Doctor an extra 1250,anathestia 1000 ,spent 3 days in the hospital, pediatrician asked for 350(but ended up taking 100) Family doctor for referral (60).

BABY DOCUMENTS
Hmmmm Canada post was on strike so it was a mess. Took 15 plus days to get birth certificate and registration even with the expedited which cost 35$(excluding money spent to fax,call,email and Express mails).
Passport was expedited also with proof of travel and cost 110$. Called the airline added baby to ticket and applied for Visa on arrival (NB: cash,Nigerian cards not accepted only accept foreign cards)
thanks to hotstepper for the food and all the advise.

Hotstepper:
Thank you for the analysis. My family friend that came to give birth, budgeted 10k dollars and she ended up paying less than 4k and it's CS ooo nd in Toronto. People undermine CANADA and run to the US yet Canada is better, cheaper etc
