jinnyz: Hello Ladies I recently had my baby in Calgary, Canada. Before I applied I read nairaland from pg 1 to 20 plus then. Pls let's read the ALL the pages before asking any question.
At the point of Entry the officer just asked my why am in canada, I said Visiting. He asked who?, what I do for a living & other random questions that has nothing to do with my pregnancy, don't think I spent more than 1 minute him.
My bill for Vaginal Delivery
Admittance fee 838, Hosp fee daily 3673 (For 24 hrs) Baby's Hosp bill 1080 Obstetrician fee 500 Paediatrician fee 250 Total CAD$6,341....
Other Expenses Birth Certificate long 60 Birth Certificate short 41 Passport photo 25.2 Canadian Passport 107 Nigerian Travel Doc 100 Post to Nig. Embassy to & Fro 40 My baby's KLM ticket 243.5
Please Note: If they had asked me if I was pregnant at the Point of entry I would have said YES. There is no point lieing when u r obviously pregnant. If u r lucky u can meet a good officer.
This bill does not include seeing doc before & after delivery. I posted my bill to give a guideline, bills varies from the city u give birth, the doctor, type of delivery and also if there is complication.
I want to use this opportunity to thank Hotstepper for her assistance when applying for baby's Nigeria document. I wld HV applied for Nigerian Visa or passport for baby BT she explained to me that its not necessary. I should just apply for Emergency Travel Certificate for baby which is cheaper & faster.
If you need further information I will try my best to answer. Goodluck! |
