How Much Does It Cost to Give Birth in Canada as Non Resident?

One of the most frequent question that we receive is "How much does it cost to give birth in Canada?"

Well, while there isn't one answer that can fit everyone needs, let's try to summarize here what you should consider when planning your childbirth in Canada.

Visa Application

The cost related to the visa application depends on how much a person would like to take this process in autonomy.

The visa application fee is around 100 CAD (approximately 80 USD), however if you would like to have immigration expert advise and have them apply on your behalf you should account for 1400 - 1600 USD depending if you have already applied before in the past or it's the first time

Medical Fees

The cost of the hospital vary based on the hospital categories and the treatment required by the patient. Hospital fees are often including hospital outpatient fees, daily room charges (a minimum of one night stay is required after delivery) and hospital delivery charges. Hospitals in Canada have a specific pricing for Non residents, that ca vary between USD 15000 - 25000 with this cost that can be +10000 USD in case special treatment are needed for example emergency C-sections or need for NICU

Birth Documents

After delivery, you will need to obtain a birth certificate in order to apply for passport.

These documentation can cost around 100-300 USD, based on if you are opting out for regular or premium service (quicker in delivery). However you should consider that you would require a guarantor in Canada ( a canadian citizen ) to apply for passport.

Accomodation Costs

The costs for this category depends on the location and the type of accomodation that fit your needs. The rent in Canada will be higher if you are planning to stay during summer compared to the cost during winter.

Typically in Toronto, apartments rent start from 2400 USD per month

Transportation

Flying to Canada can cost from 1000-1500 USD (roundtrip economy class ticket) to 4000-5000 USD (roundtrip business class ticket). While in Canada, Toronto offer a lot of way to move around, from an efficient public transportation to sharing services such as Uber
