This is a continuation of my earlier post.
I finally had my baby 2 months ago.
The bill below is a one night hospital stay for vaginal birth. Brampton civic hospital
As mentioned earlier I used Dr kayode Ayodele
Birth certificate took almost 3 weeks. This is because I made a mistake in the postal address. I had to send a a fax which delayed the process. Please pay attention to details. Thank you everyone who shared their experience because it was really helpful. I stayed with my sister in-law so didn’t have to worry about food, accommodation and transport. Total hospital bill

Hospital was 2000 CAD
Baby 600

Dr including prenatal, birth, epidural n post 3500 CAD

Lab n blood work 87CAD (Dr accepted most of my lab from Ghana) I used Dynacare

Pediatrician visit after birth was free

Passport (fast track 5 working days) 105
Birth certificate 60
Visa Ghana ( fast track 2 days ) 150
Ticket 98 Brussels airlines

Total 6600

Yes I guess so. I paid the doctor separately. I’m yet to use the hospital so don’t know how it works but I’m told I’ll pay everything to the hospital.

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.

POE
I submitted my landing card which I stated 10 weeks. She only asked how’s the little one doing and I said he was fine and lifted him up. She asked what are you here for and before I could answer she had given me my passport and said enjoy your stay. After I left the cage to pick my luggage there were 2 other officers who were checking passports and asking questions. The lady took our passport and said that’s a long holiday and I said yes I’m entitled to that much leave and she asked if I work and I said yes and she asked exactly what i do and where. The next question was why does my son have an American passport and I said his dad is American and she smiled and said enjoy your stay.

Search for hospital
I had an appointment with Dr Quin But upon arrival I realized it was about 45mins from my cousin’s place and she wasn’t going to be able to drop me for my appointments due to the distance. I checked cost of travel with Uber n taxi and it was going to cost me almost 200$ for every trip to Scarborough. So based on some of the names from this page I went to a building close to the Brampton civic hospital which has a lot of gynecologist/obs there and I booked an appointment with Dr. Ayodele. He made me pay 3500CAD cash at my first appointment. I’m told it includes all prenatal visits, post visit and epidural.
Brampton hospital is 2000CAD a night for mother . I send an update after delivery God willing.
Thank you
