Step-by-Step Surrogacy Process in Canada: What to Expect as a First-Time Surrogate

Introduction

Starting your surrogacy journey can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re doing it for the first time. At Surrogacy4All, we’re here to guide you step by step through the entire process, from your first application to post-birth recovery. This detailed guide outlines each phase of the surrogacy journey in Canada, so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and full support.

Step 1: Research and Learn About Surrogacy

Understanding surrogacy laws in Canada is the first step. Only altruistic surrogacy is legal, meaning you won’t be paid, but you’ll be reimbursed for all approved expenses. Surrogacy4All provides full legal and medical education during this phase.

Step 2: Submit Your Application

Fill out our secure online application form at: https://www.surrogacy4all.com/become-a-surrogate-in-canada. We’ll review your background, medical history, lifestyle, and motivation. Qualified candidates are contacted for a consultation.

Step 3: Screening and Evaluations

You’ll complete comprehensive screenings, including:

• Medical review and fertility tests
• Mental health evaluation with a licensed therapist
• Background and lifestyle check

We ensure you’re physically, emotionally, and mentally ready for the journey.

Step 4: Matching With Intended Parents

You’ll be introduced to prospective intended parents who match your values and preferences. Mutual agreement is essential, and no one is forced into a match. A video call helps establish comfort and compatibility.

Step 5: Legal Contracts

Both you and the intended parents will have your own lawyers. A legal agreement is created outlining:

• Reimbursement policies
• Parental rights transfer
• Responsibilities and expectations

This contract must be finalized before medical procedures begin.

Step 6: Medical Preparation and Embryo Transfer

You’ll begin hormone therapy (estrogen and progesterone) to prepare your uterus. After a few weeks, a fertility specialist performs an embryo transfer. It’s painless and non-surgical. A pregnancy test is scheduled 10–14 days later.

Step 7: Pregnancy and Monitoring

Once pregnancy is confirmed:

• You’ll visit OB-GYNs for routine prenatal care
• We’ll provide travel, childcare, and meal reimbursements
• Surrogacy4All will check in monthly

You’ll also be part of our peer support network and emotional wellness program.

Step 8: Delivery and Handover

At birth, the baby is handed over to the intended parents. A legal declaration of parentage is issued. You’ll be supported by doulas, your medical team, and the Surrogacy4All coordinator throughout the experience.

Step 9: Postpartum Support and Recovery

After delivery, we continue checking in. You’ll receive:

• Counseling support
• Postpartum care and rest guidance
• Continued reimbursement for recovery-related needs
