Good morning all,
Pls I need advice on giving birth in canada. What is the cost, suggested hospitals and how long it takes to get the child's birth certificate and port after delivery. Which is better / cheaper Canada or Usa.

Sorry, wrong advice.

I would definitely go with U.S.A for obvious reasons.....it should cost your more than 3,000 or so to have a baby in

Texas....people from U.K and Canada even fly to U.S to give birth just for the citizenship....

Honey86, who told u Canada doesn't give automatic citizenship? Nd who told you Mr man that people from Canada goes to US to give birth? Datz pure lie, rather its US people that goes to CANADA cuz Canadian port is danger free. @OP, giving birth in Canada is not dat expensive, budget 10k dollars or less. port takes nothing less than 14 workings days, so they say but u get it faster and birth certificates takes 3 weeks. From da hospital, the baby will be given temporary health card nd the permanent one will be sent to the Addy u will provide nd social insurance no as well.

Couldn't you state your argument without being rude about it?. There are better says to put forth your argument without being rude, afterall we learn everyday.

@hotstepper we are planning to have the baby in Toronto march next yr.
@honey86 sorry about the statement .

Dear Redwoods
Have you gotten the visa yet, if not, how do you intend to go about it?
It is extremely important that you reply to this, it may save you a huge trouble

Honey86, don't see anything rude in what I said, or is it cuz its in a question format? Sorry dear if it appears to be rude but not my intention Ok. Ndo oooo

Redwoods, have u applied for visa and do u ppl have anyone there?

I have the visa and I have visited twice.

Oh that's good then hut you didn't say if you have someone there

@hotstepper

So having a child in Canada automatically gives that child citizenship? Also what do you mean by Canadian port being "danger free"?

Jenny, u know a lot of countries don't like America nd most times Americans traveling put Canadian stickers on their bag..This was showed on TV. What am trying to say is that their are countries ppl with American ports might not wanna go in feat of being attacked

@hotstepper yes I have pple der.

Ok then why don't u tell dem to help u with a hospital, one close to dem

I have never liked America though for two reasons. One: they call themselves world power yet the country suffers from a high rate of unemployment. Two: the gun issue

Lol@ Jenny.

Rexwood, what part of Toronto or GTA would u be staying so it can narrow down for me who to ask cuz u know the area of where u stay will determine the hospital u will born.

My cuzin stays in Scarborough and another in Mississauga so either of the 2

Stop ing wrong information. One of the parents have to be a Canadian Citizen or permanent residence for the child to be a citizen . Giving birth to a child in a Canadian hospital does not give the child automation citizenship like the USA. Get your info right .

Dett, what r u talking about?

@Hotstepper is right. I just found this article, having a child in Canada gives the child automatic citizenship. Only Canada and US do this in the developed countries according to the article.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/03/02/birth-immigration-citizenship.html

Jenny thanks for providing the article for us to see. At least am aware of Canada and US and Canada is relatively cheaper to give birth.

It is quite cheaper. I still wonder why people go to the states but honestly I don't blame them. Everyone wants to give their child a better life and secure their future. Nigeria is shaky, very shaky.

Jenny, most times ppl choose the country they know ppl

Rexwood I have da info, let me know wen u want me to post it. Seems here is now dead lol

Hotstepper: Rexwood I have da info, let me know wen u want me to post it. Seems here is now dead lol

Why don't u just post it here so other people can benefit?
