Fertility Treatments & Surrogacy in Canada

The first country in the world to embrace diversity and implement a policy of multiculturalism, Canada, is welcoming LGBTQIA+ singles and couples wishing to have babies through assisted reproduction or surrogacy.

Canada's surrogacy is legal and regulated under the Federal Assisted Human Reproduction Act. The law permits only altruistic surrogacy, which means surrogate mothers cannot be paid for surrogacy services. But although paying for surrogacy is prohibited by law, the law permits reimbursing a surrogate mother for her reasonable surrogacy–related expenses (Ivf fees, expenses covering pregnancy and delivery, and lost wages fees).
