Your Complete Guide to Becoming a Surrogate in Canada

Introduction

Becoming a surrogate in Canada is one of the most generous and empowering decisions a woman can make. At Surrogacy4All, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process with compassion, clarity, and professional support. This comprehensive guide covers everything from legal frameworks to emotional wellness, and it’s designed to help you make an informed decision about starting your surrogacy journey.

What is Surrogacy and How Does It Work in Canada?

In Canada, surrogacy is legal and regulated under the Assisted Human Reproduction Act (AHRA). Only altruistic surrogacy is allowed, which means surrogates may be reimbursed for expenses but not paid. Surrogacy4All facilitates only gestational surrogacy — where the surrogate has no genetic link to the baby. This ensures a clear legal and emotional pathway for all parties involved.

Who Can Become a Surrogate in Canada?

To become a surrogate, you must meet the following requirements:

• Be 21–45 years old
• Have had one full-term pregnancy and be raising your child
• Canadian citizen or permanent resident
• BMI under 35
• Drug-free, non-smoker
• Pass medical, psychological, and background screenings

Medical Screening and Fertility Process

Surrogates will go through fertility evaluations including bloodwork, ultrasounds, and medication protocols to prepare for embryo transfer. All medical procedures are performed at licensed Canadian fertility clinics, and full prenatal and postnatal care is provided through trusted OB-GYN partners.

Legal Protection and Contracts

Before any procedure begins, you’ll enter into a surrogacy agreement with the intended parents. This contract is legally binding and reviewed by independent legal counsel for both sides. Surrogacy4All works only with licensed attorneys who specialize in Canadian reproductive law to protect your rights and interests.

Reimbursement and Financial Support

Surrogates in Canada are reimbursed up to $87,500 CAD depending on actual expenses and maternity benefits:

• Intended Parent Reimbursement: $35,000–$77,500 CAD
• 15 Weeks of Maternity Benefits (via EI): ~$10,000 CAD
• Total Potential Reimbursement: $45,000–$87,500 CAD

You will be reimbursed for medications, maternity clothes, travel, lost wages, childcare, and more — all tax-free and legal under Canadian law.
