Hello everyone,

Please lets keep this thread alive.

Those with recent travel should please post their visa, POE and birth stories to help others.

I recently applied for visit visa, did my biometrics last week, and I'm waiting for feedback.

I applied with my family and I have an active US Visa.

Hope to post my visa approval soon.

Hello everyone,
So my sister gave birth recently in Edmonton, just want to share some brief details.
I found a gynae for her before she landed, she got a referral from my family doctor, paid $120 for that. I called around and we shortlisted 2, the first one (a group of ob-gyn) was going to collect $3000 for delivery and $250/visit. The second has a fee breakdown for delivery and payment of $250/first visit and $120/subsequent visits so we chose him because the first didn’t really explain his fees.
Well the doc she signed up with didn’t end up taking the delivery as he was away, so the ob on call did it. She paid $2200 for his fee, $500 for anaesthesia and total hospital( fee was $8800

There were also some other small fees but I can’t remember now. My advice is to research well, I was only able to get this information because I am a resident and I kept telling them that she’s my sister. Birth tourism isn’t very popular here

Hi everyone ,

Pls I need advice on how to go about getting my wife a visa to do birth in Canada. We got married 6 month ago and she’s a month pregnant.
Her travel history : France and Belgium.
Do I just apply for a tourist visa for her or I need to specify she’s going to give birth?
I the husband have a valid USA, Canada, uk , schegen visa. Is there any way I can help with her application? Thank you guys

Towerofgrace:
From some experiences that have been shared here, most people just apply for visiting visa, as declaring child birth for purpose of visit makes it harder to get visa approval, even though some declared birth tourism and still got their visa approved https://www.nairaland.com/clans

Someone here declared child birth as purpose of visit and she was invited for interview which rarely happens and still denied visa

My advise it is 50/50, if you can defend the birth tourism strongly, you can declare, alternatively apply for VV once approved, you can write IRCC to notify them you intend to use the visa for birth tourism

Everyone beware of scammers!!
A scammer chatted me after seeing my posts here claiming to be @Amakapritty. Said (S)he has contact of a Nigerian Doctor in Canada, one doctor Spiritual. I gave his contact to my sister because S(he) insisted on speaking with her and my sister ran a check on the so called Ade’s number only to find out it’s a regular Nairaland scammer .

Please Beware o! Imagine trying to scam a pregnant woman, cursed be his soul. Amen

The numbers are 09161344876 ; Dr Spiritual
