That one is what we don't know but one mind keeps telling me that paying to hospital has more weight than doctor.
They even said its CERTIFIED health authority.

NothingDoMe:
I saw the request by the embassy to provide proof that formal arrangements have been made to pay for health services in Canada. I noticed that they mention hospital administration and regional health authority.

My questions. Will payment to the hospital meet this requirement? Is the hospital administration and regional health authority one and the same? If they are not the same then how does one get official documents from the regional health authority?

Around $40,000usd
And 2mill naira in my accounts

NothingDoMe:
I agree. No matter the length of time that information has been there it is still not as important as having a good conscience. Not everyone has access to the law. But we all have access to our conscience. What is right and what is wrong.

Truly, Nairaland is a good platform to divulge information. It is also a good platform to reactivate dead consciences.

NothingDoMe:
That information has been there since God knows when. Humans tend to have selective reading and understanding when the information being passed across is not palatable.

December pls be kind to us..as we step into this graceful month..all we wanna read from here is approval alerts,transcripts and post..God the master planner take control

Funkyanny:
Please guys I have few questions.
1, I have already started applying for visa today. I selected no job and no business even though I do online business on Instagram and gets like 1m monthly but my business is not registered yet. But I plan on using hubby's statement of account, he's a contractor with federal government, pays his tax etc..so I feel his is better.

2, I have a friend I will stay with though not closely related so I couldn't select that I have proof of relationship with her. And I also selected that I have no place to stay.

3, This is my first time applying for any Visa at all. Hubby will be applying with me. He has applied for US Visa but was denied early this year.

4, we have kids(2), cars, lands, and functioning business (farm) do you think that's enough ties? Our kids are not going with us.

5, We plan of funding hubby Account with like 10m to get a good statement of account. Is this okay? What do you think?

6, I am 3 months gone already and wish to birth my baby in Canada..there is no provision to state that I am pregnant. Hope this won't have me sent back ?

7, Our budget is 4million or less for everything except accommodation because we will stay in my friends place.

Please your response will be most appreciated.

Hello everyone, pls i have a question.. so my agent filled my application(which i now know i should have done myself). I joined Nairaland not too long ago.

Heres my dilenma. I asked her recently to forward me d soft copy of the application so i can go through it and then i observed where they asked if uve ever been denied a visa or entry into any country before, she filled no. but in my case in 2008/9, i applied for a student visa to the US. upon my interview, d consular asked me to go get some documentation i didnt have at the time from my school and reapply but i never went back to the embassy because by the time, i got the info, my life had progressed here in Nigeria so i was no longer intrested.

I applied for my Canadian visa, August 7th, got a mail October 30th asking me to make formal payment arrangement with a canadian health authority and revert, which i have done and waiting for their reply.

Realising this error in my application- pls what do u advise i do? i will really appreciate your response.. Thank u

Franeby:
Did u pay Doctors fee or just hospitals deoosit?

Bluefin:

Haha why am I secretly rooting for you to get your visa�

Hotstepper:
Yes, I like ur mindset.....however, did u ask the hospital about refund policy? I am sure it will be refunded if not used

Hotstepper:
I honestly pray this works nd not after paying, they will still deny someone as that wont be funny.

7500 is still not enough if say bbay goes inyl NICU as has been happening often now. One was billed 40k dollars nd she just begged them for a payment plan which they told her ok 500 dollars a month.

Now, I think they will also be looking at available fund in case of emergency. In all, I hope for the best for all

Hotstepper:

Oh good. There are some.people who has asked how to go about it here, I am suprised u did not say how or whicj hospital nd what city u were able to pay so those ones who can afford can do the same unless u mesaaged them privatetly.

Hotstepper:
Since people come and do not pay bills esp.wen their baby has to remain in thr hospital for extended period of time, thus accumlating more money that people cannot pay.

The embassy now wants people to pay 1st ( even though baby might still need extra attention) but the koko with the health system is that no hospital will takr payment from any patient that is not in the.country. In essence, I think it is the end of birth tourism in Canada.

There is also the trend now that people who applied for tourist visa are being called and asked if they are preggy nd go for test.

I thought i should just say my thoughtd here cuz I am sure more people will find their way here to be ask same question.

If anybody has more stuff to add, feel free

Hotstepper:
Ok. can u list some of the hospitals so that people who can afford it can reach out to those hospitals

I agree with you, but i just think that as a VO, citizenship is NOT a justifiable reason to give any one a visa. If they have a visa already that is different. But applying for a visa to benefit from citizenship by birth may just seem like it is not a medical visa. But thats just my opinion

folmus:


What statistics do you get this from ? And is maternal mortality absent there too?

Bluefin:


In my opinion, what a Visa Officer will really want to see is something that explains why you cannot have your baby in your home country.
-High Maternal Mortality
-The provider you found in CA is specialized in your type of preg risk or condition
-High Rate of Sudden Infant Death syndrome etc
-Past history of complication

I do not think including citizenship in this bracket is a good idea because a visa officer will be like [b]really? [/b]you want free health care and school when your child is 18 and you would never have contributed to the economy.

You made a post on a public domain, it will surely attract response from strangers. There is no harm in his advise. That's his own opinion.

In the spirit of giving back....i'll narrate my experience.
I had my baby on the 23rd of September 2019...arrived Canada 4 weeks before at 35 weeks.
First things first ,I did my visa application all by myself with guidance from this site?visa came in 8weeks(online).Bought my ticket and headed down to Scarborough,Toronto. Luckily I had a friend who lives there so accommodation was a breeze.Went to Scarborough health centre was given the fees.
Mother...2800 per day
Baby.......1650 per day
Labwork...250(125 for both mother and child)
Doctor...1500(Dr Jing Qin)
First visit 200cad subsequent visits 80cad

kindly note Scarborough health centre,rouge valley and birchmount hospital are all under Scarborough health network (shn) so they have the same prices.
The only downside being if your child stay in the NICU the fee for baby changes to about 4000cad a day instead of 1650 per day.

Then went to Humber River Hospital
Mother...2680
Baby.....825
Doctor and paediatrician...2000(Dr Ted Kosalka)
First visit 120cad subsequent visits 60cad.
Blood work...190
My scan was accepted cause I did it just before I left.

So I decided on humber river after learning about the NICU fees at Sch even though I had paid,I requested a refund.

Please note they no longer do visa on arrival for babies so I got ETC Emergency travel certificate for 100cad alongside other documents you'll submit for processing.

All fees are relative as you'll spend alittle extra here and there so don't budget based on exact amounts stated. Transportation was easy with the bus and train and ofcourse uber.

Canadian passport was as easy as Abc...just follow the site guidance and they will mail it to you...mine came In 5 days.once your baby is born you can apply for all.

Don't forget to call the airline and add babies ticket...mine was 100cad..Lufthansa air.

I believe I've covered everything. Please feel free to ask Meaningful questions I'll try my best to reply. Thankyou all.
Remain blessed!

Smartest22:
Hello, Please I'm 2months pregnant and applying for a visitors Visa to Canada. Should I declare my pregnancy? Will I be refused a Visa on account of the pregnancy? I have travel history (UK, Europe). Thanks

Cigbojugha:
Good day.
Please I have a question to ask. 1. Does a child that was delivered in Canada get automatic citizen?
2. How many months should the mother be before traveling.

Thanks all
