If you have started searching for an egg donor in Canada, you have probably noticed two things. First, there is far less information than in the United States. Second, the rules are different here. This guide walks you through how egg donation actually works in Canada, what it costs, and how to find the right donor, from the team that has been doing this longer than anyone in the country.

How egg donation works in Canada

In Canada, egg donation is altruistic. Under the Assisted Human Reproduction Act, donors cannot be paid for their eggs. Instead, they are reimbursed for the actual expenses of donating: travel, medications, lost wages, childcare and similar costs. Canadian donors give because they genuinely want to help a family, and that changes the entire feel of the journey.

What does it cost to use an egg donor in Canada?

While the eggs themselves are never purchased, intended parents should plan for donor expense reimbursements, clinic and IVF fees, legal agreements for both parties, and agency consulting fees. All in, most Canadian egg donation journeys cost significantly less than comparable American ones, and your medical care happens at home.

How to choose the right donor

When you work with us, you can browse fully screened Canadian donors, save your favourites, and our team will guide you through every step from selection to retrieval.
