Please in the space given if you have ever been denied a visa I put yes I have been denied a us visa but I didn’t give reasons why, pls is this a problem

Sweetie12:
Let me give back since I have benefited from this page. I applied for my Canada tourist visa first week in March (submitted in person) and got it approved in 6 days. After I received mine I applied for my mother and also took less than a week. I left Accra on Easter Friday. After reading all the comments here I got a doctors appointment and had 10k and enough money on my card to declare at POE. A week before I traveled 3 different people called and asked that I shouldn’t declare at POE unless asked but I had my money and doctors correspondence ready. This is because 2 people were given just 3 weeks entry stamp when they declared even with money and all documents. Another person was also sent back because it wasn’t stated in their visa application.
I traveled with my 19 months old son who has an American passport. We used Brussels airline.

chloe00:
oh okay so that brings the bill to a total of 6100 CAD. Does this fee apply for CS too ?

Candybright:

CS is X2 for mother, X2 for baby cos it's 2days stay. Doctor I heard is $5000

chloe00:

One mom on here has CS and got discharged same day according to the post I read through , she said it was a fast and painless surgery the doctor examined and discharged her within the 24 hour time frame

Hotstepper:
yea but it might not be same for everyone. Also, her baby had jaundice and she had to come bk for additional 2 days costing her 5k. In essence, be prepared as u cannot use 1 case to judge. A typical canadian dr will not let u go.after a day of CS ...plz bear that in mind. Also, r u going to be coming with anyone cuz that lady had alot of help from family members anf I know cuz I visited her.

Candybright:
wow, that was fast. Anyways, everyone should have extra cash in case of supposed vaginal birth turns to CS and in case they have to stay 2days.

chloe00:

Yes most likely I’ll be coming with someone if granted a visa because after CS I’ll need all the help I can get even the stretch to pick something na war , I can’t totally rely on my host because they may not have time for me . If I can’t get anyone to come with I’ll have to abort the mission because I can’t come single handed when I’m sure I’m birthing via CS.
Yes I intend to plan for 3 day stay for CS but one day stay isn’t impossible abi ?

Hello everyone.

I'm new on this thread. I'd like to ask if it's not to late to apply for Canadian Medical Tourist visa to have my baby. I'm already 6 months down. Is it not too late or employing the services of an agent be the easy way out. I'd be waiting for your candid opinions. Thank you

Thanks to everyone for their contributions. It has indeed firm up my decision to start up. But does anyone think chances might be slim if I declare my intention to have the baby there or normal visit visa since tommy isn't so obvious for now.

Please enlighten me more. Thanks

damsell:

Me: Yes indeed, I have the required funds
Off: How much is it costing you?
Me: I'm expecting to spend between 7-8k CAD in all on Dr's fees, hosp fees and other associated costs.
Off: lHe laughs) No way you're spending that little to have a child here ma'am. It costs at least 20000CAD to have a baby here.
Me: I know sir but for self paying non-residents like me, the daily rates are what I've quoted to you
Off: (Still shaking his head in disagreement): In the end, after perusing through my accomodation reservation, my passport, return tickets, cash at hand, bank statements, he handed all over and stamped me in and said Welcome to Canada.

In the spirit of giving back. I have been following this thread for a while and I have learnt a lot. I got my Canadian visa long before I thought of giving birth. When I got pregnant we decided to have our last baby in Canada as the order two were born in America.
I left abuja for Toronto yesterday 11/05/2019 on British airways. I was asked for my fit to fly, which I gave to them, they made a copy and returned the original to me. My stopover in London was very short, I got into Toronto 8pm local time.i Joined the long queue. They had a part automated immigration system, I used the machine answered the questions and got a printout, after that I was directed to the queue to see the immigration officer that will sign me in.
Immigration officers: what are you here for? To have your baby?
Me- yes and to visit family to
Immigration official- how long are you staying
Me- 2mths
Immigration officer- where does your family stay?
Me- Brampton
Immigration Officer- welcome to Canada and congratulations on your baby(as he stamps me in)

I just quickly walked away before he changes his mind.

I prayed for ease of passage, and God exceeded my expectations.

Wishing everyone the best of luck...

Hello Friends, I really appreciate everyone here. It is my first birthing experience outside and I want to begin the process. Kindly refer me to the post that has the pre requisite for giving birth in Canada. How to begin and all I need please. Thanks I appreciate

aye88:


Bank statement. Both domiciliary and naira acct.
Letter of employemnt for both hubby and i.
Leave letter from my employer
Documents of our landed properties
Pension certificate
Budget sheet. ( our budget sheet showed we were only going to spend half of the total amount we had in our account. )
Flight booking
Hotel booking
Marriage certificate
Itinerary of places hubby will visit
Hospital correspondence
A detailed LOE stating my name, what i do and where i work, purpose of visit, amount made available for the trip, details of hospital and doctor i will be using. Details of how long the three of us intend to stay.

I also wrote a detailed letter addressing the prior refusal.

I think this is about all. Generally, i feel if you will be declaring your intention for childbirth, they want to know you have the finance to cover the cost and any contigencies and they also want to see the plans you have made regarding hospital and doctor who you will be using in canada and the cost.

NB, the embassy later sent a request letter to include a proof of medical insurance to cover my stay in Canada
