Birth story!!!

I Thankfully, it stopped. I started contracting again a day to my scheduled surgery, so prof wheeled me in for an emergency CS. God blessed me with my own child. He wiped my tears. He gave me a son who looks so much like my husband. God changed my name and now I’m called a mummy. Just take a minute to thank God for me.

Omg! I had goosebumps reading this. Congratulations. JESUS is indeed profitable. God bless your little one(amen)

Hi successhungry, can you please share your timeline. Including the steps you took after getting this email and to initiate pickup. Thanks

Hi! This isnt for me. I landed already.
Traced our chat

Delivered to vfs Germany 10th may
Delivered to IRCC 11th may
Las las passport with visa received by the owner on 30th May.
*DHL delayed pick up by 4days.*
When she received a mail that the decision envelope had been dispatched to vfs from ircc office,she went to the nearest dhl office to initiate pickup from Germany. DHL staff put her through

Pascal122:
Guys I have a question.

Is it safe to backdate certifications to use for express entry? For example you need a computer training certification and you pay to backdate it for your NOC. How safe is it? Or is it recommended?

Na them! People claim visa officers read threads like this. Dont put innocent people in trouble; do what works for you and face the consequences

Winkky:


Kindly put me through on what is entailed so that we can have a serious family discussion about this and determine the way forward. I am ready to add as unacompanying if I get the nod.

1. What are the requirements for adding the child as unaccompanying?
2. What documents would be needed for the child while submitting my application after ITA?
3. Do I need to increase POF to family of 6 instead of my immediate family of 5 as already declared in my EE profile?
4. Is the mother’s consent required at any point?
Anyone that is familiar with the subject matter should please help with suggestions.

Thank you

Hi! I'm so sorry this response came late.
1. No requirement if i can recall vividly..mo ti rust die in this process
2. Since he is non-accompanying..then nothing is needed other than to list him
3. Not sure. Google this question;stuffs about it may come up.
4. No. Because you just want to mention in your list while filling out the form.
If the child is accompanying, you know the mother's consent must be sought before the mother will sue Government of Canada o and eventually cause yawa for y'all.
The thing is let your hubby do the DNA test to be double sure first. If the child isnt his, then there's no point listing him atall. The fact that he isnt in the child’s life doesn't mean he isnt the father if DNA says he is. Remember,blood is thicker than water. He can start having sleepless nights in future because of the innocent child. If he doesnt list him,there's no other way to bring him in except the process is totally independent of your hubby . In the face of Canada(interpret in Yoruba),they are not related
You need to tell him the reason why all this is necessary.
Best wishes.
Dont tow the adoption route either except you have honestly adopted the child. E get why

Winkky:
If as a PA my spouse has a child before marriage but I have not been in the child’s life because they said “it’s not my concern, I’m not biologically related to the child so I should face my own kids” How do I handle this in my Canada application? I presently only have my personal savings as POF for my immediate family of 5, I don’t know if the child has identity documents and will be available for medicals even if I add as unaccompanying.

I am just worried about the child’s future but at the same time, I don’t want to jeopardize my application and my children’s future if I add and they can’t provide documents. I don’t even know the child’s full name, my spouse is not carrying me along in this and becomes aggressive if I bring it up. I have all required documents with a good CRS, French speaker and I am just waiting for draws to start in July.

I am also worried if it will be seen as misrepresentation if I do not mention the child in my application. I need this japa like yesterday sef, help me dissect this matter I beg.

Hi. Please,mention the child whilst filing your forms. The child is your spouse's and there's a section post ita where you and your spouse will list your family members(immediate) even if the child isnt coming with you. If you dont,Canada wont recognize the child as your spouse's in future when its time to establish relationship for immigration purpose. No one knows tomorrow.

Confirm the similar Letter with your but different location.

The second letter was the last i got from VFS till now...

I still need someone kind enough to explain what is happening to us wit this letters and delays in reply

Hi. The last email states that your decision envelope is in Abuja vac already. Guess you sent to accra.You can check for Abuja vac contact and give them a call- never really expect response to their mail. If you havent paid for courier for pickup service,initiate the service.

Betterlife2018:


He got a mail specifically saying that passport is ready for collection. Do you have a counterfoil on your profile already. There is a telegram group for this, send PM.

Hi,Betterlife2018. See me here since. The person I'm asking for got a mail for pickup today. lol! Her story long. She couldn't even check for counterfoil because she used a licensed agent who resides in Canada and she has not finished paying agent fee. Hence no access to the account for now till she pays up. She has no choice to pay up tho because she will keep using the account here in Canada.

Thanks for the help. Hers took longer than your cousin's.

Do you know it can cause heart failure like the case of this guy?
Sex is highly cardiovascular.Your heart strains itself to pump blood during long period of sex.
If the heart gets tired of straining,it will stop working.

Thank you! Your post made me remember when I was a student,my group mate clerked a middle aged man(say around 38/40yrs old) who had partial stroke. Whilst taking history,he said he was straffing his wife and couldn't move half of his body suddenly. Thus,he landed in the teaching hospital and was on admission. His wife was there with him; they were shy to give history. I was funny to us too. We jokingly said amongst ourselves that what if it wasnt his wife he was involved with? Wahalur wear koko shoe be that
People need to stop using nonsense in the name of ' i wan fire on' instead of enjoying one good round and sleeping off immediately secondary to the happy hormone release

You can use any courier service of your choice. DHL, ARAMEX, FEDEX OR UPS . Contact the courier of your choice for their applicable rates




https://visa.vfsglobal.com/egy/en/can/additional-services

Thanks abunch. The issue is that the payment has been declined twice whilst using dorm account to pay online. Also,someone walked into the bank on her behalf and was asked to provide an address or so. Did you have to put the Canada VAC address at any point whilst paying?

Hello. Congratulations to your cousin. Could you please share the Germany vfs process?
Also,if anyone knows Newyork vfs process, kindly share. Thanks alot

Amazingoreofe:
Hello.
Please can anyone who has gone through the process of inducing labour, share more light. I've read alot on Google but I'll like to hear personal experiences.

Heard it's alot more painful than natural labour. I was due on Wednesday 20th and Dr. Has me to come to the hospital today to be induced. Though I'm not scared at all. Cos I can't wait to meet my baby.

PS: first time mom

Hi,mama. I have been induced twice.
First baby; i had membrane sweep which is a type of induction. Well,it was painful. Then,i had the pill inserted. My labor was really painful the first time. I dont ever want to remember the pain.
2nd baby; i was induced as well. First with catheter ;didnt work then with drip which is way more painful than the other previous methods. But the drip was run really really slowly(the faster,the madder -lol). My sister,i ate during labor o. I kid you not. I was on 5.5cm,contractions were 5mins apart by then sef but i ate rice. Once it hooks me,I'd hold my plate and groan. After relief,i will quickly eat because if i hadn't eaten; i might have passed out.
Long and short of it is that experiences with induction differ. Whichever one; having your baby is worth every pain . I'd choose the pain of induction over episiotomy pain. That one na die.
All the best,mama

37weeks is early term sef; just keep feeding well for baby to add more weight
Stay safe

TEAM JANUARY MAMAS

How are we all coping with the sleepless night and euphoria of motherhood.
Mine has been wonderful, unfortunately I am down with covid19, and it just myself, hubby and baby.

I know I will overcome this.

Pink

Omg! So sorry to read this. You shall overcome by God's grace.
I'm soo JOYFULLY stressed.. same family composition as yours plus a toddler. Ko funny rara ! But I'd rather do this than to still be pregnant* apologies to waddling mamas,abeg*
I've posted my BS twice but Nairaland deleted them.

BA!
My BBG is here..brb with stories

iwinnie:
I went for antennal this morning and while checking my urine the nurse said there's a trace of protein in my urine.

Hi,mamas
Abeg o; i need help.
I've been having show since Sunday. Last VE says I'm 2cm dilated. I have done squats( greatest mistake in recent time), danced small....no labor progress. I dont have that Yoga ball(the 'ijebu' trait and laziness to be blamed here).
Cant take a walk lest i fall.
Is there any other thing i can do? I've been sooo down..I'm 39weeks gone today.
I'd really appreciate any other suggestion. Thanks in advance.

miracletoday:

Thank God mamas mentioned breast pump mata, I was thinking of buying manual b4. Pls is it because of d stress of pumping or it doesn't work as electric ones.

Manual breastpump abort mission! I repeat abort mission especially if you have massive brezz. Its tiring and makes a mess- from my personal experience

impeccablerose:
Good days mamas.
Please for those in late second trimester / early third trimester, has anyone taken the TT injection?
If no, at what point is one supposed to get it?
My Doctor in Nigeria mentioned it twice but my OB here has not said anything about it. I intend to ask her during my next visit.

Hi,mama. I got DPT(TT) @ 27weeks here in Ca. You cant get it earlier than 27-32weeks. The ob/gyn will mention it when next you see.

Modified: if she doesnt,please ask. Ask and ask questions. There's no perfect healthcare system anywhere. You hear medical rules that are soo 'irritating' here

greatlinda:

Tnx ma

Its a pleasure,mama.
If the baby is straining to poo and crying; hold both legs up gently whilst the baby is facing you and positioned on your lap. The poo will definitely come out.
If you are a ftm,dont be scared. This works like magic.
Like my mom told me..ogboju no fi n to omo( you raise a baby with bravery )
May God help us all
