Please am confused about the fact that I have an express entry profile and if I can still apply to birth in Canada.

Kindly enlighten me....will my express entry profile be an issue, I am just in the pool, no ITA yet, never done diometric or medicals for Canada before.

Hello everyone,
I'll be traveling back to Nigeria with my 3 year old. Please does she need a PCR test?

No, he does not need to do it. Only you will do it. I am in Naija with my kids and none of them did it. If they are less than 10, they don’t have to. Make sure to visit ncdc site for steps on what to do after the test. Safe travels

Please can Canada grant me transit visa to Barbados. I want to have my child in Barbados but unfortunately no direct flight from Nigeria to Barbados. Generally Canada visas are unpredictable and not straight forward. I don’t want to get any visa denial from them. I just need a transit visa that’s all.

Any suggestions?
Thank you all

Canada, Transit visa!! Just focus on UK visa for your transit

Rach622:
Good day all, please I have a question
Does being pregnant affect getting a study visa?
Thanks for your response

I know my reply is coming late but..no I was six months pregnant when I got my study visa five years ago .

Hello everyone, I am pregnant and due in 1st week of March, I have a valid Canadian visit Visa and wish to teavel and give birth in Canada. Please I need advice. I have 4 kids but all born in Nigeria. This is the 1st and probably the last baby I want to try birthing abroad. Kindly help out with information on whether it is better to use an agency or do it by myself. I have 2 bothers studying in Canada. 1 in York and the other one in Manitoba. I will appreciate advice from people that have experience. Also I don’t have much so I am looking out for the cheapest available option. Thanks

ANY UPDATE HAVE YOU TRAVELED

Hello Dazzing,

My situation is quite similar to yours. I have a visa and had my first child in Canada, I plan to travel next week and need some immigration advice from you. I sent you a mail, please respond.

dazzing:

Hello, Sorry for late responses, I noticed that since my last post I got alot more direct mails, and I see there are a few questions on here that I haven't responded too. I'll try and do that now, but some quick update:

I got my baby's passport. from interview/form submission day till I got it took just two weeks, so I'll say the process is still working okay even with the restrictions and limited service.

General update: Canada border restrictions to visitors was extended again till end of this oct.

answers to questions:
yes, you are on point there are mainly two confident sources to get travel restrictions on countries, IRCC and IATA websites. which I also used. My first child like I shared is a Canadian, Canadians are allowed into their country and me as the mum, an immediate family member. so airline would always ask for evidence which is the birth certificate. again non-optional/non discretionary reasons, mine was medical. plus I have PR siblings but that only came up when I was already at canada immigration. the main thing is airlines will not let you fly if you cannot show evidence to enter a country that has restrictions. Again I dunno it may have cooled down now, but when I used airfrance I saw a lady who was bounced at Paris, as she didn't meet the criteria. it wasn't pretty. I understand that not all members of this forum would meet that criteria that's why I said my post is useful for intending mums coming after the ease of Canada lock down.

My journey to come though cumbersome will not be relevant to this group cause the conditions I traveled then have all changed now. Now there are airlines and countries have opened up. Again even though I am Nigerian, I don't live in Nigeria, I live in another African nation, so when I came my journey was broken in pieces, through different African countries, with the last leg being via Paris to Canada. I hope I've answered all questions. I'll update the group again if I get any other info.

Oh I forgot to mention, some months back the Nigerian embassy here wasn't working , but now I saw the press release that they have resumed services but very limited and by strict appointments only. this was really a massive headache to me, and in the end, I will not be using them as I suspect there may be backlog on their side.

Sorry Nana for just seeing this, I have responded to your mail, but for the attention of others I'll still say, always check IATA and Canada immigration website. I recently got a mail about some mandatory 3 days in a hotel paid by you for all travelers. in fact I was planning some sort of visit with my family but when I got that email, I have had major change of plans. so its good to keep checking I remember I used to check weekly some times a few days apart when I wanted to go on my own trip.

Hotstepper:

Sorry to hear about this, but keep checking the website to see if anything changes.

please how do I check their site to track my visa, I actually applied through an agency, they keep telling me that they checked the site and and what they are seeing on display is that, decisions have not been taken

Hello Hotstepper, is Canada allowing foreigners to enter for giving birth since the border open?

Hotstepper:

Hi Everyone,

I am 15weeks Pregnant and we are trying to apply for toursim/birth Visa since restrictions have now been lifted, however I have the following questions;

1) If successful how many month Visa will we be granted?
2) My husband wants to apply as an attending, is this advisable ( I need all the support I can get as this is my first baby)?
3) How much should we have in our account since its the 2 of us that will be applying?
4)Is there any sure agency for birthing that you can recommend here in Nigeria?
5)After the baby is born, is it possbile for us to change the Tourist Visa to immigration/work Visa since canada is currently experiencing employment gaps issues?
6) If its possible, which sure plug can we use?

Please kindly advise as the baby is growing per minute.


Thanks

Lol@probably the last baby

Jimisola14:
Hello.

Please I need advice. is it advisable to start Canada visa application now that my wife is already 4 months gone?

234 days is written on their website as the processing date. If Canada won't work, what other better option should we try?
Thank you.

WHT option did you use

Oleayo22:

I will advise you await ITA. In my opinion, I don't think you should use this to jeopardize your PR journey. Las Las, pikin go be be citizen. Let others contribute.

Too late to contribute but no express entry draw has been done since Dec 23 2020. Having a profile doesn't mean you can not apply.
