Becoming a Parent

through surrogacy in Canada


Starting a family through surrogacy can be one of the most significant and complex decisions you will ever make. Whether you are facing infertility, navigating personal or health challenges, or creating your rainbow family as part of the LGBTQ+ community, surrogacy in Canada offers a unique and empowering path to parenthood. With the support of a dedicated Canadian surrogate, your hopes of growing a family can become a reality.

Why Choose Surrogacy in Canada?

Surrogacy in Canada operates under an altruistic model, meaning that surrogates cannot be compensated and are only reimbursed for their expenses. This creates a compassionate and supportive environment where surrogates are genuinely motivated to help intended parents achieve their dreams.

Steps to Becoming a Parent with CFC

Factors that Influence the

Cost of Surrogacy


Surrogacy in Canada involves costs that can vary greatly depending on individual circumstances. While specific expenses may differ, it’s important to understand the key factors that can influence the overall cost:

  • Medical Expenses: This can include the medical screening for the surrogate, IVF medications, embryo transfers, and any other necessary medical procedures throughout the surrogacy process. Additionally, Canada’s healthcare system typically covers prenatal care, as well as labour and delivery for the surrogate, which can help reduce overall costs.
  • Legal Fees: Legal agreements between intended parents and surrogates define the rights and responsibilities of both parties, while also establishing legal parentage. These agreements ensure clarity and protection for everyone involved.
  • Surrogate Expenses: In Canada, surrogates are reimbursed for expenses related to the pregnancy, which can vary based on experience and individual agreements.
  • Agency Fees: Surrogacy agencies offer comprehensive services, including ongoing guidance, management of expense reimbursements, and coordination throughout the process. These fees cover the professional support provided to both intended parents and surrogates.
  • Insurance Costs: This would include life insurance, a will and travel insurance for any necessary trips during the surrogacy process for the surrogate.
  • Geographic Location: Costs may differ depending on where the surrogate and intended parents are located, as regional differences can impact medical, legal and travel expenses.

I've been a surrogate multiple times with CFC, and they’ve been incredibly supportive and helpful every step of the way. If you're interested in helping someone experience the joy of having a child of their own, I highly recommend working with them. You’ll also build a wonderful sisterhood with other surrogates and feel supported from start to finish. I can't thank the caring staff enough for all they do.

I really enjoyed the Paris retreat. We were welcomed by a huge hug from Leia. We were told to get our swag & then were led to the beverages. Chatted with other surros then set up our room. The weekend is always a fun filled girls time away, never a dull moment. Your participation is voluntary. There is always an abundance of food & laughter! There were some emotional times, which is great because it’s good to get it out. I do personally like getting a paper itinerary. I always look forward to Ontario retreats. Thank you CFC !! I loved the location very spacious & clean.

Had a consultation call with Jenna after reaching out to all of the agencies in Canada, and by far Jenna was the most knowledgable, and professiona! She answered all of my questions, and didn't sugar coat the cost, the wait time, or even how long I could wait if my first surrogate didnt work out. So excited to get started!

We are Zied and Arnaud, a French couple going through a surrogacy journey in Canada. Working with CFC has been a very positive experience so far. Surrogacy is a long and sometimes challenging process, with ups and downs, but we have always felt well supported and guided by the CFC team. Even when things were not easy with surrogate matches, we found a listening ear, honest advice, and real commitment from the team. Starting from zero on social media, Leia, Baden, and Alia played a key role in helping us create impactful videos that truly made a difference in connecting with potential surrogates. Their support was invaluable. We are still in the process, but we can confidently say that CFT has met our expectations in every way !

On December 2, 2025, our daughter was born through surrogacy. Throughout this process, we were guided by the team at Canadian Fertility Consulting (CFC). Leia Swanburg and the entire team were an invaluable partner in our journey to becoming parents. Our journey has had its ups and downs. However, we always experienced genuine interest, understanding, and dedication from Canadian Fertility Consulting (CFC) to help us as best as possible. Their quick and clear responses were certainly part of this. The ongoing support during the post-birth process in Ontario was exceptional. We've had so much support from Leia. The Canadian Fertility Consulting (CFC) team genuinely cares about their clients. They treat you with compassion and share in your joy and dedication to starting a family. We highly recommend them. Thankyou Leia, Alia, Alaina and the rest of the team!

Becoming a surrogate was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life, and choosing to work with CFC made all the difference. From the very beginning, their team was there every step of the way making sure I felt supported, cared for, and genuinely respected. No moment ever felt too big or too small; there was always someone checking in, offering guidance, reassurance, and compassion through both the easy and the more challenging parts of the journey. Surrogacy is a truly beautiful experience, and having a team like CFC by my side made it not only possible but deeply memorable. They are experienced, knowledgeable, kind, and endlessly patient. Most importantly, they make you feel like more than just a number. You’re seen, valued, and loved throughout the entire process. I’ll forever hold this journey, and the incredible people at CFC who made it so special, close to my heart. Thank you!

CFC held our hand, confidently and caringly, through the process of meeting our surrogate who became our friend and who delivered our baby recently. IVF for us was a process of ups and downs, and the journey bonded us all into what we consider to be our baby’s extended family. CFC bring the best of Canadian mentality - order and kindness - to surrogacy, and we enthusiastically recommend them to any intended parent/s. We believe our baby’s calm and happy nature upon birth reflects that too - look at that relaxed hand while feeding!

My partner and I have been on our surrogacy journey with CFC. We chose CFC and Canada because of their values and commitment to caring for all those involved. Along the journey we have had many ups and downs. The one constant has been the ongoing support from CFC, particularly Leia, who always gets back us, calls us the moment we need her and makes us feel valued and supported. We never feel like a number as she knows our story. Leia is always honest, direct and there for us. The team genuinely cares.

We have been intended parent clients with CFC since 2020 with two journeys. Leia and her amazing team could not have been more helpful or supportive - practically and emotionally. Our journeys have not been easy due to circumstances beyond everyones control - but CFC has been with us every step of the way, no matter what problem has arisen. Probably more importantly, we've always seen them put the surrogate's best interests first, which was important for us. Making sure a surrogate is well looked after and cared for, above all else, made us feel comfortable we were partnering with the right agency with the right values.

Thank you again for the awesome surrogate retreat!✨ I am an independent surrogate, and was surprised to see I was welcome to the retreat. Like I said to Leia, thank you so much; It was the weekend we didn't know we deserved. We are used to take care of everyone as mothers and surrogates, that we forgot the most important person in our lives; ourselves. ❤️ If one day I change my mind and decide to go through a third surrogacy process; It would be with this agency because I know they care, and are there for us.

Finding a Surrogate in Canada:

If you are exploring the path of surrogacy in Canada, understanding the process is essential. In Canada, surrogates cannot be compensated but can receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the surrogate pregnancy. This is an important distinction to keep in mind when considering the gestational surrogacy cost.

As you navigate the surrogacy process for intended parents, you might be searching for information on the average cost of surrogacy. The overall surrogate mother price often includes medical fees, legal costs, and reimbursements, which can vary based on the arrangement. While many parents may look for the low-cost surrogate mother, it’s crucial to remember that quality and support should be prioritized over cost.

Canada offers a supportive legal environment and a strong network of professionals, making it one of the best places to pursue surrogacy. While seeking a surrogate in Canada, consider the benefits of working with a surrogacy agency in Canada that understands the surrogacy laws in Canada and can guide you through the journey.

Canadian Fertility Consulting is a surrogacy agency that specializes in connecting intended parents looking for a surrogate with compassionate and dedicated Canadian surrogates. Whether you are searching for finding a surrogate or specifically a surrogate mother looking for intended parents, we can assist you. We help you navigate the process, including surrogate egg donor cost and gestational carrier cost, while ensuring all parties feel supported throughout the journey.

If you are an intended parent or intended mother looking for gestational surrogate, it’s vital to work with professionals who can provide guidance. Many intended parents also search for ways to find surrogate mothers online or find a surrogate near me, but relying on an agency can provide reassurance and clarity.

The process to find altruistic surrogates can be complex. It’s essential to have support every step of the way. Our agency is here to help you understand the cost of surrogacy, the surrogate father cost, and other important details.

As you consider your options and begin the journey to parent through surrogacy, let us assist you. Together, we can help you realize your dreams of parenthood in Canada.
